In its latest ad, Microsoft has reportedly aimed at Apple Macs, saying the lack of touch screen on the systems make them inefficient while planning a wedding.

The ad shows a soon-to-be-bride planning her wedding, who says that she was going to get a Mac, but they still don't have touch screens.

The actress in the ad goes on to say that a touch screen makes it easy for her friends to check Pinterest, search for the wedding band, and share their ideas.

According to Cnet, the woman further says that she preferred the Windows all-in-one because, just like the perfect marriage, one would never need anything else.

It is Microsoft's latest dig at Cupertino after everything from telling people that they'll fail at college if they use an iPad to sending a decaying apple to iPhone users, the report added.
