Re: Sony and Vista ads everywhere here
Not our call. Ads are handled through a third party. If your Windows using friend isn't too busy busting a gut, maybe you should show him PC Magazine's review of the Mac OS.

You know, because they're biased and everything.

They had Windows XP ads back in the day of the green website so this isn't exactly new.
