Simpsons Mock Apple

This is all Microsoft needed to do in the first place. Call apple out on its BS "we're too cool" commercials and explain to the consumer that they make computers in order to make money just like us.

Instead Microsoft wanted to battle Apple in the pop culture realm and came off looking weird and out of touch. Now that America is in a recession this would be the perfect time to emphasize that Microsoft makes decent computers for a lot less money than the cheapest Apple computer.
