I own a mac and a PC and I use both a lot. My Mac crashes a lot more than my PC. I bought one of the first generation of dual processor G4 machines and that first year, it crashed at least once a day. Since they upgraded the operating system, it definitely crashes less often, but still more than my PC. In fact, I don't find anything they claim in their commercials to be true. I only use mac because of a couple of Apple programs that will likely never be abvailable on the PC. Microsoft has launched an ad campagne to contradict the idea that all PC users are boring slobs. They are trying to show that there's a lot more diversity in the PC customer base than people think. But the funny part is, they don't need to spend billions of dollars to illustrate the point.

As for how much they actually spend, you could find out their overall marketing budget from the published accounts which will be in the public domain for a big, listed company such as Apple.
