REALLY bad choice for the “I’m a PC” guy
September 26, 2008 by Andy Martin
Ok, so I’m doing some spreadsheet work today at work and I need a good calendar template for Excel. I go to the Microsoft site, find one that I think will work, and I get a sidebar ad for their new “I’m a PC” campaign. Not a very good choice for their PC guy. I swear to God this isn’t Photoshopped, a simple print screen on my work laptop and pasted into MS Paint, saved as a jpg. WTF is Microsoft thinking? I mean, sure, he’s an internet meme and well known, but doesn’t exactly make me want to switch back from my Macbook Pro to a Vista machine…
I'm Tron Guy, and I'm a PC

Thanks for the screenshot! I hadn’t seen any of the sidebars/banners yet.

Welcome, Tron Guy! Congrats on being a part of the new campaign, but for some reason I thought you were a Linux user?
I use Microsoft products as well.

I use PC’s too at work, but my wife and I use Mac’s at home now (though the kids are still on an XP machine). I also use some Red Hat at work, mainly on Avaya IP PBX’s. It’s great to have you here, Jay, and honestly a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
ROTFLMFAO!!
MS once again proves that innovation through litigation or just plain stealing ideas from Apple is their formula for success. I saw an article once that showed all the “new” ideas for MS operating systems that had originated years earlier with Apple. I wish I had kept the article.
