Microsoft Ads Were Created Using A Mac…

News

By now, you’ve probably seen the new Microsoft “I’m a PC” ads in which they try to counterattack the stereotypes of PCs made by the Mac ads. If not, do a youtube search and you’ll find them.

Well, according to Gizmodo.com, it turned out that the ads were creating using a mac… (what an irony)]

I might get my head torn off by The Ballmer for posting this “I’m a PC” bit of trivia today, but the irony is too great to pass up. Turns out that phase two of the “I’m a PC ” advertising counterattack against Apple was… created on a Mac. If Apple was smart, and I think they are, they’d have another Hodgeman ad making fun of this produced and in the can yesterday.

The offending evidence was metadata found in the images of the PC user featured on the “I’m a PC” web site. The data exposed the fact that the images were produced using Macs running Adobe Creative Suite 3.
