whoa. this must be great (for Apple) and uhmmm…quite humbling for Microsoft, or this is just being pragmatic on their side–a touch of reality. hehehe. peace!

Looks like its edited. The outer shell of that Macbook Pro is weird. And the podium where the Microsoft logo looks like it was just superimposed.

Yes, it’s likely photoshopped. But still a hoot, no? Besides, PC Magazine reports that the best laptop to run Vista on is a Mac, so it’s not a long stretch of the imagination. I know people who buy a Mac to run Windows on (shudder).

I don’t think its edited. Saw the original post earlier on Facebook and another user posted a similar shot taken from a different angle. Apparently there were two MacBook Pros in use.

i love how something like this comes out everyone screams SHOPPED

look he gives presentations, so any of you guys ever used keynote?
its exponentially better then power point

besides you ever used a mac for anything creative, work flow goes through the roof.
i hate having to use the pcs in college, there horrible, having used pcs all my life,
i cannot be happier i made the switch

This is pretty funny, but *it iz photoshopped becuz i sez so, nub!!*

….

Everyone who cries “photoshop” should be slapped, then brainwashed into believing that their entire reality is a lie, and that they in fact were made by Photoshop.

And we will video tape their reaction and put it on youtube. And photoshop the video. And beat them. And put it on youtube.

I am done.

But in all seriousness, i love the irony. Classic.

Why you people like Macs, I still have no clue. They are horrible machines that are generally incompatible with more than basic programs. The interface is, also, quite shoddy. Why do you like them? Because the current “sub” culture says it’s cool? Would you like to know why there aren’t many viruses on Macs? Because they suck, and no one bothers writing viruses for them because they reign over such suckiness.

It’s shopped - look at the slide being presented:

“Innovation for future graduated”

don’t make sense.

This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

why does everyone host their images on flickr and photobucket?? can they not host their images on their own server?? I would say alot of schools/buisnesses block out flickr & photobucket. so all their images are also blocked out. Which leaves many many blogs and pages image less. You will program for 10 different browsers to make sure your site is viewable for everyone and then you go and host your photos on a site that offers alot content that is not suitable for work or school. hmmm I think mabye the web community should not proceed into this imageless abyss.

Idiot !

Sorry about that, the previous comment was addressed to the comment by Neb who obviously has little or no idea what he or she is talking about.

The macbook pro was left by the last presenter. So it’s not his.

…seriously, neb. Do you have any idea what you’re talking about. The mac interface is actually pretty sweet. Have you used OSX leopard edition? The ’spaces’ and ‘expose’ utilities are really great. Much much better than any Windows interface, and at least as visually pretty as Vista without the bugs. Additionally, it is pretty much a fact that macs process multimedia better than PC’s. Images just look cleaner.

Also, there are a wide variety of programs available for macs that cover a wide range of applications. It’s out of the box functionality for multimedia is well beyond what windows has to offer. The only thing lacking really is gaming. I don’t really game a whole lot, so this really doesn’t bother me.

Don’t get me wrong. I’ve been a windows user for quite some time, and i like it for the most part. But i’ve recently gotten a macbook and I’m really impressed.

Um, Mac runs windows OS.. so it’s not that far fetched…

Neb, either you’ve never used a mac and just bitching cause its the trendy PC user thing to do, or you were far to incompetent to use it, which believe me is saying A LOT. Stop being the classic, ignorant douche, please.

plus running vista on a mac is like putting monster-truck wheels on a Ferrari.

you know i kind of agree with neb, mac os is much better than vista, bit its still not as good as xp.

plus apple computers are so taxed its ridiculous. You can buy the same hardware for a little more than half the price if it wasnt an apple. Check out psystar they are making computers that will run mac os now.

you can get a computer twice as fast for less

You are silly. What you don’t have on this that the ORIGINAL poster had was the fact that the microsoft guy didn’t use this mac. Two people before him used that mac for the presentation, while the microsoft ceo just had a slide show not even using a computer.

i dont know what neb is saying, all i know is that since i switched to the Apple, i dont know how to format Word documents on the Vista version of Word (or whichever version it is). i dont know also what neb is saying about problem with programs, coz even before the new OS, u can use Fusion and run windows. i dunno also what neb was saying about viruses, because the fact that there are not much viruses that invades a system makes it much dependable, such as a wear and tear type. i dunno dude, Apple for me is worth every cent that ive spent my money on it, and to most people who still has it seven years have passed.

and flickr is fine, except u should put some type of filter to it so that u dont see yer granny taking off her panties slowly. j/k!

and also, to get back to the real topic, this pic is pretty awesome, except there is always a story behind every image.

OMG. This is just crazy/stupid. Hahahahaha! :p They should have used a Dell.

Hahahahahahaha!

Mac wins… again.

Wake up people, this picture is as real as gabby comcepcion winning the famas award. FAKE!

Uhm. Mircosoft owns a large part of Mac. They have since the 80s. All the software on a Mac is MS.

yea it’s a mac but so what…mac’s are great hardware. you know that there’s windows running on that machine.

Mac created the windows software, then bill gates came and stole it.

I love my Macbook, but I truly hate stupid pompous mac people. Microsoft is a software company, they don’t make computers, they make software (duh!) So what? The CEO wanted to use a computer he knew would work well. God I can’t wait till all these iPeople take their heads out of there GDed heads

Cynoe: “Uhm. Mircosoft owns a large part of Mac. They have since the 80s. All the software on a Mac is MS.”

Wrong wrong wrong. Microsoft invested $150 million in Apple in 1997 though the purchase of 150,000 shares of non-voting preferred stock (a patent dispute settlement). That stock became convertible in 2000 and by the end of 2001, Microsoft had converted all of its preferred stock into about 18 million shares of Apple common stock. All of that stock has been sold off.

MS own nothing of Apple.

But yeah, I shout fake. Despite Microsoft ‘only’ being a software company, I doubt they’d give credence to Apple by using a Mac on stage for a conference - they’re still a competitor.

“Mac created the windows software, then bill gates came and stole it.”

Wrong. Xerox made the software, then Mac stole it, then Windows stole it. Then Mac decided it was unfair.

Bastards.

bet that is running an MS OS

“Wrong. Xerox made the software, then Mac stole it, then Windows stole it. Then Mac decided it was unfair.”

Wrong Wrong Wrong again. The amount of wrong info people spout. Tsk! Read here from someone who worked for Xerox and subsequently Apple:

Please check your facts before shouting them as gospel. We all like a good legend but that’s usually what they are, stories made up and twisted over time. =)

Steve Ballmer prefiere Apple…

Vamos, que para poder trabajar bien parece que prefieren la marca de la manzanita….

omg you guys there’s a mistake on the internet.

i don’t think that Mac considers anything unfair.

until a couple months ago, i was a PC (per the latest ridiculous MS campaign). and a happy one at that. but after a couple hours spent on my friend’s macbook pro, i decided to take the leap and buy a $3K mac. and i LOVE it.

i can say that, like all mac owners, i feel privileged and enlightened. and as apple is gaining computer market share and DOMINATES mp3 player market share and has the dodge viper of phones . . . i don’t think that it has anything to worry about.

Steve Jobs and Apple didn’t ’steal’ Xerox’s GUI OS from PARC, ‘dannyboy,’ if that IS your real name. They didn’t know what to do with it, and it wasn’t patented/copyrighted/trademarked. Yes they were foolish, but no Apple didn’t ’steal’ it. Actually if you think about it, it makes plenty of sense. If Apple had ’stolen’ it then it would have already been running on an Apple or Mac computer. That’s impossible because they weren’t created yet.

Give genius where genius is due: Steve Jobs is a very smart guy.

Required, it may very well be running an MS OS; macs can do that. You can dual boot them, too.
