Microsoft's new ad touts how PCs are used everywhere for everything. Too bad they didn't think about how Macs rule the world of design before producing the ad. Yes, there are some agencies out there that use PCs, but they're few and far between, so it's not a big surprise to me to find out the PC ads were actually made on Macs. It's just a little funny. I'm sure it's what the CP+B designers, art directors and vendors use for everything and probably no one thought about it, at least until the meta data was pulled from the photos posted online. Oops...A guy named LuisDS on Flickr discovered the data and there's some good info on it at Roughly Drafted.

I know Talk Like a Pirate Day was yesterday, but I'm guessing there are more than a few people involved with this that are saying, Aaaaaaargh, right now.
From the Roughly Drafted link:
"When LuisDS checked on the photos again this morning after publishing the metadata details on Flickr last night, he found that Microsoft has scrubbed the revealing details from the work, an effort that also resulted in the 272 KB photo ballooning to 852 KB."
852 KB. Nearly four times the size on a PC. Love it.
They just keep messing up too—a friend sent me this Link about how the celebs in the spot are not loyal PC users either.
