99% of all graphic designers, animators, etc use macs, and they are the industry standard. Don't use this thread to argue, that's not what it was meant for. Oops, my bad :)

Even Microsoft Uses Macs

Everyone knows that sometime in the next few years we’ll see Longhorn. Microsoft needs the time to see what the new Tiger release has and make sure they will not be out-done by Apple. In the mean time, Microsoft has launched a huge 12 month campaign called “Start Something”. It will explain to everyone why Windows XP machine is still all you need even after 5 years. So their first campaign posters and online ads came out. Microsoft so thoughtfully posted one of the new "Start Something" ads that's part of the new global awareness campaign for Microsoft Windows XP and invites users to click the image for high-res version.

Well, various MacDailyNews readers clicked to view the image, downloaded it and checked the file's info by using iPhoto's "Get Info" and other methods to view the file's EXIF information which shows it was created with "Adobe Photoshop CS Macintosh." As one reader wrote, "Isn't it ironic? A picture launching their big campaign designed to steal the thunder from Apple - is made on a Mac!"

You can find the Microsoft ad here. (Until they take it down or change the ad)
