RobertM Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 This was reported on Slashdot yesterday; there's nothing to see, and they're simply using outdated images: http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=0...109&tid=1&tid=3No need to read any farther than the first comment to see this. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inform Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 It seems that some MS product manager dropped the ball when choosing to use out dated images. They even have a image with the World Trade Center still standing in New York. The omission of the Apple campus is a certainly due to the use of out dated pictures. None the less it does cause a moment of pause, was it know before it was released for beta? I can tell you being a product development manager that it's the details that get you and it's always embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
