'I'm A PC' was made on a Mac

"Microsoft's Seinfeld-successor ad campaign, which features people from all walks of life that use Windows-based PCs, 
was created on Mac computers.
After this fact was discovered in the image metadata, Microsoft tried to belatedly close the barn door by removing the 
metadata. Lame.

Although at first this seems like a bit of an embarrassing revelation for Microsoft, it's not surprising at all.
Macs have always been the favorite of creative types. For more than 20 years, I've worked for Microsoft-focused print 
and online publications;
most of them did their art and layout work with Macs. In media and graphics arts, the Mac rules the roost.
That is exactly why Microsoft's reaction is a bad idea."
