Does the BBC appreciate the irony...

...of publishing a news article about a Windows only trojan with a picture of a MacBook (Pro?)? I very much doubt it...

Hmm, should I have put this in the pictures forum? Not sure, feel free to move it mods.

I am right in thinking that's a Mac aren't I?

It actually happens quite often. BT sent out an advert for some windows only service which was pictured to be running on a Macbook Pro.

I thought it was interesting to see that this BBC news article about a windows virus. Along with a powerbook in the accompanying photo... err

I guess it's pretty common since so many departments creating the artwork for advertising use Macs.

I always have a quiet chuckle to myself when I see them.

BTW, that looks like a 12" Powerbook. (somebody needs an upgrade?)

Guess its not as odd as it used to be since alot of Mac users (on this forum anyways) seem to be running Windows on their Macs these days. I assume Macs on Windows are as vulnerable to viruses as PCs.

Still it would have made more sense to use a PC.
Anyone know any figures of how many modern Mac users at least have Windows on their machine?
