The swedish branch of Microsoft has done what Microsoft international has done in the past, used a mac in its commercial. Look for a picture with chains around a computer. (http://www.microsoft.se) That computer is a Mac, model 7500 introduced by in 1995!!!!!
The words left of the picture say: Avoid viruses and surf safely.
Oh yes, you

That comes as no surprise. It goes to show you the extent of the contempt they have for their customers: automatically assuming that they'd be too st00pid to recognize an early Mac. (http://tongue.gif) Think about that as you contemplate your next purchase of Longhorn.
Ironic isn't it? You can surf with a Mac and be a helluva lot safer than with any version of Winderz. Truth in advertising for a change? (http://smile.gif)

I have a Performa 640 that looks a lot like that. Without the chains, of course. Same monitor, too.
What probably happened is that whoever put that site together used stock pictures, and didn't recognize it was a Mac. But since Macs have always been the puter of choice for graphics professionals, it's not too surprising that the photographer had a Mac handy.
