Several digital images that Microsoft Corp. has posted on its Web site to trumpet its new "I’m a PC" ad campaign were actually created on Macs, according to the files’ originating-software stamp.<\/p>\n

Four of the images that Microsoft made available on its PressPass site Thursday display the designation "Adobe Photoshop C3 Macintosh" when their file properties are examined. The images appear to be frames from the television ads that Microsoft will launch later Thursday.<\/p>\n

One of the images is of a real Microsoft engineer, identified only as "Sean," who resembles John Hodgman, the actor who plays the PC character in Apple Inc.’s iconic ads. Reportedly, Microsoft will play off Apple’s own campaign — during which Hodgman introduces himself with the line, "Hello, I’m a PC" — with its engineer saying "Hello, I’m a PC, and I’ve been made into a stereotype."<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I’ve always thought that the PC in those Apple commercials should look less like an office geek and more like a gangster.  Seriously…they should get Joe Pesci to play the PC…<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

I’m a PC.  Listen to me. I got your head in a fuckin’ vise. I’ll squash your head like a fuckin’ grapefruit if you don’t give me your fuckin’ money…<\/em>  What?  What?  My licenses confuse you?  You fuckin’ piece of shit…Maybe if I stick your head through that window over there you’ll get unconfused. Give me the fuckin money…<\/em><\/p>\n
