SOMEBODY at Microsoft has some creativity

Unfortunately it’s the advertising dept.
See this anti-Chromebook commercial starring the Pawn Stars guys:

MS also has a site scroogled.com as in “Don’t get scroogled”. When you Google “scroogle” it doesn’t come up until you type in the whole word. If I enter k-e-r it comes up with Kerry Washington and a slew of other famous Kerrys.

I do agree with MS that a chromebook is not a real laptop.

PS – Just a thought, what with MS 8 Google might strike back with “don’t get Microshafted”.

I find myself agreeing more and more with Microsoft in this rather dogged battle(they are not only aggressive in advertising, but it’s spilled over into the courts) with Google. The Company has clearly changed direction and is now heading back in the right direction. Xbox One had a widely successful launch, their Smart-phone market-share is on the increase(finally!), Windows Surface is super-fast for a tablet, things are turning around.

If you use a Windows Phone, Google stonewalls you with no apps at all(except their search app), yet they’ll happily put apps on Iphone. Why punish users of Windows Phone just because “it’s Microsoft’s system”?
