A interesting post at the Neowin forums had many people talking about how Apple posted sneaky ads on some really lucrative keywords including “Windows 7 download” and “download Windows 7”. The Ads were titled as “Upgrading to Windows 7″ and pointed to www.apple.com/getamac.

So is Apple really afraid of Windows 7 stealing their thunder, or was that just a sneaky attempt to get genuine future customers of Microsoft to buy a Mac?

I elaborated on was above, as the sneaky ads from Apple are no longer displayed when you search for those keywords, at-least on the US edition of Google.

So is this a sign of desperation? Or, is Apple just hot in their pants after Windows 7 launched? Please note, this is not a anti-Apple rant, it is just appalling that someone could post such sneaky ads. Hopefully, Microsoft would not start posting ads on “Get a Mac” keywords now .
