Im a Mac [PC]

maconpc
The whole of last week I was amused to see Bill Gates and Seinfeld share their lives with common folk on TV.
Then via stuff.co.nz I came to know that

Microsoft’s “I’m a PC” advertising campaign was created on a Mac and the celebrity spruikers brought in by the software giant are all professed Apple fans, it has been revealed.
Hidden information contained in images from the ads published on Microsoft’s website show they were created on Macs, a Flickr user revealed in a published screen shot.

Microsoft responded by quickly scrubbing the hidden “metadata” information from the images.

Good one. This shows the lame and cunning efforts of micro$oft and the real power of Apple. Even in creating a media ad micro$oft couldn’t be creative on its own (as usual) and had to copy Apple once again that too on Apple’s software.
An apple a day keeps the “micro”soft away.
