Does that harm Microsoft in any way? Is even an infinitesimal percentage of PC users suddenly going to buy Macs based on that photograph?

Probraly not, but taking photos at the job,and useing them to make fun
of your boss in public isn't a smart move either....

I agree, but IMO it's not a firing offense, and if they had done that in their UK they'd have a tribunal on their hands, and IMO rightly so.

Well most tech-firms have a "no-photo"-clause in their work-contract.
Obviously for other reasons than this, but ......

Oh ok, makes sense I guess. I would've thought that would have been covered in "keeping company secrets" type clauses I've encountered, but anyway.

Wouldn't surprise me if they had an Amiga or 2 somewhere in their "bowels"

That could be a bit painful on the way out.
