As much as I hate MS monopoly, I think this isolated incident does not mean Microsoft is racist.

But the "photoshop" job is not professional at all. May be it was done using MS Paint

face was changed, but whoever did it forgot to change color of hand on table too. must be rookie in image manipulation.

No.

If MS had photochopped a bunch of indian heads onto those bodies, would we call them racist? I dont think so...

But it IS embarassing

Since Photoshop was used to perpetrate the act, it is Adobe who are the real racists.

lol... Russel Peters must be assigned the task of finding if MS and/or Adobe were/was racist.
