[preview]Der ein oder andere Apple-Freund wird vielleicht schon auf Microsofts neue Werbekampagne 'Laptop Hunters' aufmerksam geworden sein: Zu sehen ist immer ein potentieller Computer-Käufer, der im Elektronikmarkt feststellt, wie unpassend und teuer Macs sind, um anschließend einen PC mit Windows zu kaufen. Apples Rechtsabteilung scheint die Videos alles andere als witzig zu finden: Laut Kommentaren von Kevin Turner, Microsofts Chief Operating Officer, versuchte man bei Apple, die Kampagne zu stoppen.[/preview]
„And so we've been running these PC value ads. Just giving people saying, hey, what are you looking to spend? "Oh, I'm looking to spend less than $1,000." Well we'll give you $1,000. Go in and look and see what you can buy. And they come out and they just show them. Those are completely unscripted commercials.
And you know why I know they're working? Because two weeks ago we got a call from the Apple legal department saying, hey -- this is a true story -- saying, "Hey, you need to stop running those ads, we lowered our prices." They took like $100 off or something. It was the greatest single phone call in the history that I've ever taken in business. (Applause.)
I did cartwheels down the hallway. At first I said, "Is this a joke? Who are you?" Not understanding what an opportunity. And so we're just going to keep running them and running them and running them.‟
