If you ask me, I guess it was about time for Microsoft to stand up for itself and take a proper hit at Apple. And this time they have managed to come up with a funny video too. The video is a great response to Apple’s “Get a Mac” campaign.

Microsoft is targeting the App Store and it’s making fun of some of those ridiculous apps that can be downloaded to iPhones and iPod touches right now. In this rejected Windows Marketplace video Microsoft makes two important points. First of all the App Store is filled with unnecessary apps and second, Apple is well knows for the way it choose to approve or banish apps from its store.

But after we’ve had a couples of laughs and shared it with our friends, we still have to acknowledge the fact that Apple’s App Store is way better than Microsoft’s Marketplace, at least for now. And Microsoft is surely wishing for a Marketplace filled with at least half the ridiculous apps found in the App Store! You see, Microsoft, you actually need to perform better than the competition in order for any funny video to really work!
