I get that you want to show your own products in their best light, but this is just petty and beneath them.

This is the same company that displays Windows machines it finds on the network with a Blue Screen of Death. You have to really zoom in on that icon to see it, but it's there. As a Certified Apple Fanboi(tm), such pettiness bothers me. I'd go as far as to call it unprofessional. But macOS rules and Windoze droolz, amirite?

That's my mental picture of Windows, and it's not because of the Mac icon. So in my opinion, it is a fair likeness.

I'd give them a pass for this as it's been in there since they really were the underdogs. At the time it was punching up. Not so much now.

This comes from the company that still shows non-Mac PCs in the network as CRT monitors, showing a blue screen of death.

Only if you have no sense of humor :).

Reminds me of how hugely offended some people were that the icon for a Windows PC in Mac OS X’s network browser was a blue screened monitor.

It's just annoying when they don't have a sense of humor about their products but have a negative sense of humor about other's.

I can be not offended and still feel it to be petty.

I found it absolutely hilarious when it was done about 15 years ago. That was when we Apple users were pretty much the underdogs and expected the platform to die any day.

But now that Windows users feel threatened by Apple and are sensitive about this, it should probably be changed. Although it's a fun relic of the olden times.

About showing their products in the best light, it seems they also chose to limit the view of the notch of their brand new MBP to one (kind of small) picture... among pictures of 30 devices.

The macOS Finder still displays Windows machines on the network as CRT monitors showing the BSOD I believe. I’m not in front of my Mac now so can’t check.
