Oh lordy... um... Apple really should have calmed their ego before they stated the "upset at Windows" bit. That's a no-no. I just hope they don't get castrated digitally.

Anyway, how the hell did it happen? Some inside guy just slip a completely non-Mac .exe into the formatting system at Apple? Wowsa.

Guess even Apple needs to use "Windoze" from time to time.

I'll venture to guess it's some engineering/testing software not available on a mac. Many off-shore production companies (read in Asia) use their own production processes that usually don't include macs.

Here's the support file Apple has listed, which now shares the top section of the support site, along with the battery recalls.
