Microsoft placing “I’m a PC” recording booths outside Apple stores
Filed under: Misc. Gadgets
digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/microsoft/MS_placing_I_m_a_PC_recording_booths_outside_Apple_Stores’; The Apple / Microsoft ad war keeps escalating — while Apple continues to insist that John Hodgman is the human representation of all PCs, Microsoft is taking its populist approach to the streets. Very specific streets, actually — it’s placing “I’m a PC” recording booths outside of Apple stores, like the one pictured here in Birmingham, England. The booth is staffed with three ‘Softies who’ll try to sell you on the latest in Windows tech while making nyah-nyah faces at Apple store patrons, and guests are invited to make a short video explaining why they, too, are PCs. Not to be outdone, Apple has pledged to send Justin Long to your house to charmingly condescend to you about his various abilities while still pretending to be your best friend.Microsoft placing “I’m a PC” recording booths outside Apple stores originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 31 Oct 2008 13:29:00 EST.
