Apple says 'Hasta la vista, Vista' [photos]

I always wondered just how far Apple can go with their jibes at Windows, when Gates/Microsoft itself owns a sizeable chunk of Apple. No?

No. They don't. They do not. Nope.

Get rid of the PC owners dumb thing.

Got my boys the Macbook. They figured out imovie by themselves.

You should see the classmates clamoring over the machines. The first generation ipod experience was the same. They still work by the way.

I suggest that imovie and macbook ads with the same ipod now generation light and sound effects would be far more effective.

Get your facts straight. Microshit and Billy Goat own ZERO percent of Apple. That $150 million dollar investment expired ages ago. Wake up. If things continue the way they are, it will be Apple that owns Microsoft. But then again, why would they want that garbage.

Jarod, Dont be so rude. I was merely curious. I wasnt to know the 'deal' had expired ages ago. Chill..

not leapard

if Vista was delayed yet again after Leopard comes out so that Redmond can steal the latest ideas from Cupertino....

Microsoft's $150 million purchase of non-voting stock represented less than 4% of Apple's cash assets. Of its total market capitalization, the $150 million was a tiny drop in the bucket. It did not expire. Before the first Apple-Microsoft five-year agreement expired, Microsoft sold its Apple stock at a profit.

the slogans are backed up!

The jabs and pokes at MS and Gates are intended for the demented and twisted sense of humour of the propeller heads. They are inspirational. They are not aimed at the stock market.

The fact is, the jabs and pokes tick off the delusional, moronic Windows users who think the "promise of better things to come" is hilarious. What could be better?

The old "$150 million investment" was widely played in the press as MS buying a major piece of Apple. It was a token gesture that, with some reality distortion, helped the investment community to better understand Apple's viability and helped Apple present a case to consumers. It was important from a marketing and promotional point of view but certainly not something that deluded the stock analysts.

Now let's look forward to Leopard! Let this big cat scratch the eyes out of the Rats of Redmond!
