Microsoft's Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner yesterday told attendees at Microsoft's Partners Conference in New Orleans that Apple called his company and told them to stop airing its Laptop Hunters series.

Calling it the "single greatest phone call he's ever taken in business" Turner said that once Apple had lowered the price of its expensive notebooks, its legal team called Microsoft and asked that the commercials not be aired any longer because they had reduced prices.

HAHAHA that's awesome! I'm not a big apple fan so it greatly amuses me that Microsoft's commercials actually got them to lower prices. I don't think that was the actual goal of Microsoft.. who would want to stay under the apple price so people would choose it.. but still awesome.. only because as an art student we HAD to use apple's and they are soooo expensive.
