I've been vaguely considering it myself and I've hated OS X every time I've used it (but wouldn't mind playing with it a bit more out of curiosity and to give it a proper chance instead of my 5 minute sessions trying to get stuff done on other people's Macs and just being frustrated at the different way they work (little things, like you can't resize windows from anywhere but the bottom-right)).
Ads like this make the company look like a lying douche with nothing good to say for themselves, though. It puts me off buying their products. It still comes down to features and function in the end but these stupid ads raise the bar a little for me.
I guess, as people have said before, that if they gain more customers from ignorant people who believe the bullshit ads than they lose from people like me then it's worth it... I'd still rather see more honest advertising, though. It doesn't even have to be positive -- though if they want me to buy their product, rather than not buy a specific other product, then they should tell my why that is, dag nammit -- it just has to be true instead of this piss poor effort.
And I say all this as someone who has complained a lot recently about how crap MS are at fixing non-security bugs in their stuff after it ships. I wish they would do a better job of it but this Apple ad still sucks and is hypocritical to boot.
There are so many valid complaints that you could aim at MS and Windows -- as is the case with any big/complex company or product, TBH -- that it always amazes me when people have to scrape the barrel and make-up bullshit ones.
