A Microsoft worker tweeted his excitement about the company's new operating system Windows 10 from a Mac made by rival Apple
A Microsoft employee tweeted his excitement at the launch of new operating system Windows 10 - from a Mac.
Dan Ardelean, MVP for client development, sent the tweet from an Apple Mac in the run up to Microsoft's announcement on Wednesday, which also saw the unveiling of augmented reality headset HoloLens.
Mr Ardelean's mishap comes weeks after BlackBerry's official Twitter feed was caught tweeting from an iPhone instead of one of their own handsets. Former global creative director of BlackBerry Alicia Keys also tweeted from an Apple device while working for the company.
Windows 10 will be available as a free upgrade for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and Windows Phone customers in the first year the software is available, and has been designed to work across all Microsoft platforms, including Windows phones, desktops, laptops, tablets and Xbox One.
The company chose to skip using the name Windows 9 to mark a departure from the much-maligned previous system, which was much criticised for its tablet-optimised interface.
Microsoft placed great emphasis on both privacy and personalisation during the event in Redmond, Washington. The integration of digital assistant Cortana into PC and tablets has been designed to personalise basic functions such as search as much as possible, while speeding up the process.
