Microsoft is swinging at Apple again with this new commercial featuring a Windows 7 laptop showing Avatar on a blu-ray disc and a jealous MacBook looking from the side. In countries such as Sweden it sure can be painful that there’s no Apple computer with a blu-ray player available – since you can’t rent any movies through iTunes. But in other countries where you can rent HD movies the problem is much smaller. I use a Mac mini as the center of my home entertaiment system and it sure is a shame that I need to have a blu-ray player as well. I definitely see why Apple want to skip this step and move directly to streaming media, but we’re not there yet.

So, you got your nice new Windows 7 installation but realize that the bundled wallpapers are quite boring? Don’t despair here’s a bunch of nice Windows 7 wallpapers!
