More on Windows XP on a 8600


I took a picture of my old 8500, then Photoshopped out PowerPC and other Apple identifiers–it’s identical to the “pc” in the Microsoft. Also, if you blow up the picture you will notice that the “XP desktop” was sloppily pasted onto the Macintosh 8500/8600’s main monitor: the Mac menu bar is visible at the left upper corner.

Why would they do this? Maybe they wanted to show a dual-monitor setup but couldn’t get it to work with XP? eXPectorate — cause that’s what you’ll want to do!

[Ed: we call it Windows eXPerimental.]
