Bill Gates has branded recent Mac adverts lies and slated the vaunted
security of the Mac OSX security.
The attack came in a Newsweek
interviewwhen he was asked about an Apple advert likening the
upgrading of PC hardware for Vista compliance to human-surgery. He said: "
There's not even the slightest shred of truth to it."
He denied Windows users are "klutzes" and, with a sideswipe at Apple's tight
control over its machines, he added: "We've done a better job letting you
upgrade on the hardware than our competitors have done."
Gates also challenged the preconception Macs are always more secure than
Windows computers. He claimed: "Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every
single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit; your machine
can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows
machine."
Apple released the 'get a Mac' adverts, which come in
American
and
British versions, just before the launch of
Windows
Vista. They depict two men, one in a suite representing a Windows PC and the
other in more informal attire representing a Mac, slugging it out over who is
best.
