The latest version of Mac OS X, Leopard, has a network browser that uses stylized icons of the various computers in the LAN. Here is the icon of a generic PC running Windows:
So funny!

steve jobbs is arrogant.
To make fun on some website is ok, but to make fun of your competitor in a professional product… that’s highly immature!
As if the rich kid’s toy never crashes.
:p Linux and BSD is much more mature then :p..besides, linux and BSD are made by people all around the world, so you can’t blame them if they were to make fun of windoors or of a pomme gaté, to be wild and fun is in the blood of BSD and linux.
But that proprietary pomme gaté’s stuff is supposed to show some professionalism… and fairplay.
*note by maturity i didn’t meant code maturity.

I just don’t get it.
If Windows (read ‘Microsoft’ also) is so crap, why all this obsessive fuss and cheap mockery of the so-called BSOD.
Linux crashes too and so does the Mac. The latter’s purported stability is not an excuse to make fun of Windows. Note well that Steve Jobs learns a lot from what happens in Redmond too!

I have to agree with you.
This is (a little bit) over the top. I would be very unhappy if the Microsoft team changes the network browser of Windows to show, say, rotten apples, when they detect a Mac
I guess this Leopard “feature” will disappear in one of the next updates…

Incidentally, Yaasir, the size of the “icon” is 512×512 for a very good reason: resolution independence.

I, too, think it’s a bit too much. I’ve installed Leopard, and I can say it has its flaws. Mail is slower than on Tiger. Time Machine failed twice on me.
On the good side, Leopard is much faster when it comes to launching applications. Safari renders web pages faster. Putting my Mac to sleep with while is connecter to a shared drive on the network, and bringing it back from sleep does not result into the “beach ball.”

Immature and fun
But, as a matter of fact, the BSOD makes identifying Windows computers easy in the network browser because, well, of the blue color…
