Title: HP Accidentally Uses macOS Screenshot in Ad for Windows Laptop Post by: HCK on October 21, 2022, 04:05:03 pm HP Accidentally Uses macOS Screenshot in Ad for Windows Laptop
Windows PC maker HP appears to believe that "the perfect laptop" is one that runs macOS — at least according to an ad the company promoted on Reddit (https://new.reddit.com/user/HP_Store/comments/y35522/for_the_digital_nomads_and_work_from/). The ad shows an HP laptop with a macOS screenshot in what is clearly a Photoshop job gone wrong. (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2022/10/HP-macOS.jpeg) "For the digital nomads and work from anywhere-but-home types (yeah, we see you), HP has perfect laptops for wherever you're working from," the ad says. The macOS screenshot shows a Gmail inbox in Chrome, with an Apple logo visible in the menu bar. Apple's licensing agreements do not permit macOS to be run on PCs, but there is a Hackintosh community of users who unofficially install macOS on PCs. Apple did allow its System 7 operating system to be licensed to other computer vendors in the mid-1990s, but the program was discontinued by Steve Jobs when he returned to the company. <strong>Update — October 21:</strong> The ad has now been deleted.
