Have you heard? Windows Update makes Apple PowerBook more secure!

Just a quick and funny post this time around:

I needed to download a template from Microsoft’s Office 2007 site and upon visiting Microsoft.com, I saw this:

If that doesn’t stike you as funny (or at the very least ironic), then let me put paint a background description.  The notebook pictured above is an Apple PowerBook (titanium).  Unlike current Macs, it didn’t have an Intel processor and didn’t run Windows natively.  Rather, Windows could only be run in a painfully slow virtual mode through the now-discontinued Mac Vitual PC environment.  Moreover, the notebook was released in January 2001 and discontinued in September 2003.

So, it’s a great complement to Apple and their design team that Microsoft would use a notebook no longer in production as their home-page PC image for promoting security downloads.  It’s a testament to the timeless design Apple’s products have.

What else does it mean to you?
