The author realized that not everybody is in the USA. This is the kind of attention that customers value (at least I do) and will make them return to use the service.

I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft supplied that material themselves. Macs are good-looking computers (and with its minimal design, in a sense, appropriately generic) and Windows 7 runs on computers. Potential Windows 7 buyers probably don't even know what a Mac looks like, will even less likely notice what's wrong, and most importantly - won't care. But it does looks good.

Makes it look a lot better than if it were on a $400 Dell, though.

It should be possible to install Windows 7 on a MacBook. Perhaps it is a subliminal suggestion for people to do exactly that.

okay it is a picture with windows 7 logo photoshopped on the screen of a macbook pro and the title for the article is: "Windows 7 _launched_ on a macbook pro..."
