Their entire campaign, from the switch commercials on, seems to be trying to shame Windows users into believing that they are morons for using Windows and to choose the "right" OS. I avoid OS holy wars whenever I can because I honestly don't care, I use windows because I have never had any of the evil problems that Apple says I have and I enjoy building my own computers. I just don't like commercials that actively insult me.
