*This is (I believe) the current representation of the official PC icon for Macintosh.*WTF Apple? Really? As great as your company is, you must, at least pay due respect to Microsoft/Windows PC...
Although this is quite humorous, name one time Microsoft DIRECTLY insults Apple, I've never heard of one, and forgive me if I'm wrong.
P.S. I LOVE Mac, and Apple is an awesome and VERY promising company but this is a bit much... this is not a children's contest, this is (currently) false propaganda... this is a profession, not a game.
Feel free to lend me your thoughts.

I can name a time where Microsoft insults Apple now...with their new Microsoft Surface and with Cortana on Windows Phone. Man...I really want a Windows Phone now...just for Cortana! So cool, but again yeah.

I think it would "brandist," as Apple and Windows are brands, not races.
And I think it's fuckin' hysterical.

That is a bit childish for a major company to do.

But there is one anti-Mac thing I've seen windows do. It was a commercial where someone was told they could buy a computer for a certain price. And all the Macs were out of their price range. So, it effectively boiled down to "PCs are cheap pieces of shit."
I must admit, they didn't think out their own commercial too well, but it was their intent to show some sort of "flaw" in Macs by calling them too expensive.
I could buy a pair of socks for less than a PC, but it wouldn't let me surf the internet, now would it? So it's not better than a PC at what I'd buy a PC for.

LAWL, first part - XD makes PERFECT sense, my dad has Vista still, and will be upgrading to Windows 7 soon, and when I use it, Vista drives me CRAZY, so slow, but I must give credit to Microsoft, they were just trying out more security ideas to help with all the virusus; and that's why Windows 7 was born, never had really any problems with it at all, and I do not even have sufficient RAM to run it, worked fine w/ 768MB then I finally upgraded to 1GB on Christmas.
Yes, I've heard of this commercial, and actually, Microsoft is mainly responsible for the OS, not the hardware, although the manufacturers must follow a code when designing most computers designed for a specific OS. But Macs are very expensive, and so are PC's recently, but they must include the most modern tech."
