To be honest, I find this quite refreshing ;-)

Btw, some other icons, eg Keynote, have such "eastereggs" as well.

But you're right, if they want to use such icons, then they'll have to add special icons for linux as well, eg a Monitor showing X11 errors on the console ;-)

“At least Microsoft don’t stereotype your products!”

Oh, how I hope you said that in jest.

I love the PC icon, it's just like I remember my Windows machine :D

It's. A. Joke.

Goodness graceous. Heck, even at my office (where I am currently the only "Mac user"), nearly all of my coworkers thought this was funny.

Somehow, I find it hard to see how this is a UX quirk! :P

No, leave it! I like the joke... :-) (i am a both Mac and PC user and like both)

I like it too. I hope they leave it.

I think it's funny too .. but
in my mind respect is always better than making fun of something. Windows has anyways done a remarkable job in the past.
I'm a mac, win and linux user, and all of them have great qualities.

I think the icon for a mac should have a beachball on it.
