Re: OK Who's responsible for this :)
ha I think that occasionally the graphics boys girls (probably being Mac devotes) like to have one over the marketing dept. and their clients. BUT as I'm sure would have been pointed out earlier Micrsoft have themselves used done the nudge nudge wink wink - we slipped an Apple product in to our adds thing, though in this case the reverse where an apple computer was used to promote a windows product. Office for Windows 2003 (the Windows equivalent to 2004) has ads and shop posters that have people using Ti-Powerbooks that have had the Apple light logo airbrushed out. While suppling great amusement for us Mac owners it showed some marketing smarts from Redmond as no mater what no Intel based laptop manufacturer paying MS licensing fees could fairly accuse MS of playing favorites by featuring a product from a direct rival. Paul I haven't seen the Sunday Times but noticed the Computer Expo ad in the West Magazine on Saturday. The screens for all of the pictured models most definitely had IE for Mac OS 9 depicted. The reason is that, usually, the ad agencies use Macs for their design work and so they do the screen captures on the Mac and fit it on to the screen in the ad hoping no one will notice.

No, what it shows that even such horrible software as Office for Windows 2003 runs fine under emulation on a Ti-PowerBook :-) It shows that, or it shows that MS doesn't want to advertise Dell/HP/Toshiba, and prefers to advertise Apple...
