Long, this is a post with a title about an Apple MacBook in a Microsoft ad, authored by you. If anyone is over emphasizing here, its you my friend. I just want to clear another thing up. Microsoft started their business developing software for the Macintosh, it was their bread and butter for many, many years. Apps like PPT never made it to Windows until 1990, Excel – ’87. So, regardless we might see 1000 stock photos on Microsoft.com web sites with Apple systems in them, lets not look too deep into it and make something out of obviously nothing. Windows Vista, OS X, Windows XP, Linux, MS Office, Open Office, Mac, PC, they are all good.

Too many shiny happy people and not enough substance.
http://get.live.com/ is full of stock photos that have nothing to do with the product too.
It’s not that it’s a Mac in the photo that’s the problem obviously because WHS is useful for them too, it’s the laziness of the people who just slap up any stock photo without thinking about what it means that’s annoying.

They really need to start making their adds point to a website with videos of people actually using their products. Nothing beats seeing a product being used by someone who knows every feature and is good at explaining them because something like a “home server” isn’t a product the average user has any clue why it might be useful to them.

Just for the record, Asus sells a white laptop, as they are the makers of the Macbook. Difference being they sell theirs with Windows.

How do you know it’s a macbook?

Do you have some specialized software that analyzed the image, and identified it as a macbook?

Or do you think that a white laptop can only possibly be a macbook?

Even if it was a macbook, why would it matter?

You guys are over emphasizing the Macbook. WHS officially supports OSX so it’s no big deal.

You sure it isn’t a Toshiba Portege? We have loads of them floating around in the Windows group. I would rather use a good laptop, but some do like them
