Microsoft's 'I'm a PC' campaign created with Macs

By Prince McLean <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Published: 05:00 PM EST *Metadata found on Microsoft's creative copy used in
its 'I'm a PC' ad reveals that the graphics were actually produced using
Macs running Adobe Creative Suite 3. After the details were published on the
Flickr photo sharing site, Microsoft scrambled to polish off the
embarrassing details last night

*Microsoft's new
ad<http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/09/18/microsofts_300_million_ad_campaign_tumbles_with_new_pc_ads.html>features
contrasts a "stereotyped PC user" dressed up like John Hodgman in
Apple's Get a Mac ads with a number of people who say, "I'm a PC" apparently
to affirm that they run Windows.

However, not even Microsoft itself can wean itself off the Mac, as the

Microsoft was not only using Macs but also Adobe's software in place of its
own Expressions Studio, which the company bills as software that "takes your
creative possibilities to a new level."
