The UK leading PC retailer, PC World in their new 2007 catalogues depict Mac OSX Safari 2.0 a Mac only browser, clearly showing the MacOSX interface, with the Microsoft Windows Vista homepage on the screens of all new laptops and PCs.

Here is a scan of the catalogue in question:


This could show two things!

Maybe PC World shows envy for the OSX System
Maybe Apple have a secret subliminal advertising campaign
Maybe the Graphic designers who undoubtedly use macs did a quick screen shot of the Vista homepage!


Also, on the PCWorld.co.uk website, all laptops and screens display the recognisable Mac OS X's Jaguar Aqua desktop image.



The Vista homepage featured can be found here on Web Archive as the page has since been updated:
http://web.archive.org/web/20060203020205/www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/

The original page was:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista

Is the Desktop image copyrighted? It may be so!
