I was just shown a Windows Live One Care ad on TAB. Kinda doubt that ad is really reaching its target market.

Not only is it software that doesn't run on a Mac, it's software you don't need on a Mac (except a backup program - if you could call Microsoft's attempt a backup program.)

Maybe they're shooting for the Parallels or Fusion crowd? Or maybe they're just reminding us how nice it is to own a Mac.

I think the more likely thing, although this is just speculation, is that TAB gets its ads from a 3rd party, so sometimes they conflict with the needs of Mac users.

It certainly leaves room for advertisers to improve technology so they can target their ads more directly.
