Does the BBC appreciate the irony...

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.

powerbook on BBC news with windows virus?

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

BBC = Fail! lol

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?
