Now THIS is an 'Oops!' :-)

Quoting Doug Camilli of the CanWest News Service:

"You've heard about the new Microsoft ad on TV? The one with an actual Microsoft engineer, who happens to look like the "and I'm a PC" guy in the Apple Ads?

Well, somebody from computerworld.com went poking around Microsoft's website, where images from the ad are posted, and found they've been created - all together now - on a Mac!

This guy "examined the file properties" of the imsges - don't ask me - and found the notation Adobe Photoshop C3 Macintosh.

The commercials were made by ad agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky, and Computerworld says Microsoft forgot to put a "no Macs" clause in the contract."
