Do you have the 'cool' tag to own Microsoft?

This is it folks, the moment we've been waiting for. PC users have suffered the taunting and teasing of Apple's "Get a Mac" ads for years now and it seems Microsoft has finally decided to fight fire with fire, valiantly.

Microsoft's latest addition to their "Life Without Walls" campaign is a new series of videos entitled "Laptop Hunters". In the premier video, we find Lauren who is in search for a brand new 17" laptop for under $1000. Lo and behold; Lauren's first stop - The Apple Store. Can you see where this is going? I think you can.

Oh, but after everything Apple has pulled over the years, do you think Microsoft would stop there? Nuh-uh. Head on over to The Wall Street Journal to be greeted with yet another surprise. Yes, it's a Mac vs. PC slot machine banner! (pictured above) Give it a spin to compare your affordable PC choice with a hilariously weak Mac offering.

Well done Microsoft, we knew you could do it. Superb twist to what you call a classic payback.
