The Xbox is the closest thing MS has ever done to matching the kind of user experience Apple provides in their products. MS single handedly, IMO, changed the way consoles connect online and allowed players to connect and interact in a social gaming environment. Xbox Live is a closed system similar to what Apple does in certain spaces. This seems to me to be a natural move considering how Apple-like the Xbox group has operated since it's inception. This can only mean good things for what looks like a real commitment on Apple's part to gaming on the iPlatform, IMO. Nintendo and Sony should be concerned...as if they didn't have reason to be already. I'm a long-time mac user and Apple fan, and also have an Xbox/360.

It's just a typical jab to the PC users right above me. I'm a Mac user and lover, but I hate flaming wars as much as I hate Apple fanbois. I mean, why do they have to bring up Mac vs PC at every possible chance? It's just stupid. Yes, I was. It's just a typical jab to the PC users right above me.

Apple is, I believe, a likable company. Microsoft has never even pretended to be likable. Apple will want to defend their image and won't want to use the tactics that have brought success for Microsoft. The underdog comment was more in reference to image.

I noticed how the new Apple commercial has the PC guy covered in "small print" whenever PC guys makes a claim. But I recall Apple having their own fine print issues and changing their direction when it was recommended that Macs now install antivirus software. Too bad Microsoft isn't as shameless, lowlife and hypocritical as Apple when it comes to making their commercials I know.
