Marketing Age is reporting that Microsoft has edited 1 of its Laptop computer Hunter ads to ensure that it no longer specifically mentions Apple;s Mac pricing.An unnamed Microsoft spokesperson inside the tale confirms that Microsoft reworked the “Lauren and Sue” ad — part of a series created by ad agency Crispin Porter & Bogusky — to ensure that it no lengthier mentions a Mac costing $2,

Apple officials didn;t confirm Turner;s story to any media outlets I saw, but the fact Microsoft went to the trouble of editing the commercial does seem to give backing to Turner;s account.Update: A Windows client spokesperson sent me e-mail saying that Microsoft did edit the ad but not because of anything to do with the supposed Apple complaint to Turner. The spokesperson said that Microsoft simply wanted the ad to be accurate and,

Microsoft gave me the same canned statement they gave AdAge:“We slightly adjusted the ads to reflect the updated pricing of the Mac laptop shown within the TV advertisement. This does not change the focus of the campaign which is to showcase the value and choice of the PC.”One of my ZDNet collegues said he thought Microsoft should use the new (and very vague) numbers released by NPD this week,
