I happened to stumble on to this picture on the Dutch Microsoft webpage. Is this a definite G4 running XP or does it look like one?

    Yep.



    It's a pre-unibody aluminum professional Apple laptop.



    It's either a PowerBook G4 or a MacBook Pro.



    Without seeing the top of the bezel or ports on the side, it cannot be narrowed down further.

    It's not necessarily "running" Windows though. In print ads, the screens of computers and TVs are generally just "photoshopped" with a separate image... They could just as easily have shown it running DOS.

    I know



    Using an old version of Virtual PC, with XP-Home edition just so his child could behold from the beautiful easy to use new Office 2010 ribbon-interface.



    Wonder what the performance would be if you tried.



    It's not as spectacular as an iMovie tune under a press-statement of MS and Nokia, but still.... Is nobody over there checking the stock-photograps they use for their adds??? Even for nice machines to show their products on they can't use their own hardware.

    I did that years ago... XP was unusable on VPC on a PBG4. Windows 98 was bearable for the one thing I needed it for. (But certainly beat having to buy a dedicated WinTel PC.)
