Apple Advertises on Windows 7 Keywords

Posted By Keith Dsouza On November 2, 2009 @ 2:08 pm In Featured Articles | No Comments

A interesting post at the Neowin forums [1] 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. mac-windows-7 So is Apple really afraid of Windows 7 [2] 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 :-). Image Credit: The Next Web
