Dell has posted a commercial for its Dell XPS 15 laptop that accidentally shows the device running a combination of Mac OS X and Windows 8.
The Verge noticed that "The entire marketing video, released in December, shows a laptop that seamlessly switches between the Windows 8 Start Screen and apps running in OS X, all thanks to a flick of the wrist or a tap on the screen."
The site theorizes that Dell's marketing team got a little too creative when producing the video.
Take a look below!

Well! If you got the chance to watch the video twice, and listen carefully to what the background voice-over, then you know it won't be suprise ever it shows three computer (Mac OSX, Linux, Windows) on the same screen. Come on, I am posting with COMMON SENSE, the title of Dell's Ad is saying how good the screen of its debuted touch-screen laptop is, not that they are Microsoft's buddy-buddy. Please re-watch the Ad again
How did they even get the OSX apps to run on windows?? Isn't Dell all buddy-buddy with Microsoft, and if they were they probably should have been strutting windows 8 apps.. Oh wait, what windows 8 apps?
In the video, it was mentioning its monitor has 5 times more pixel than HD, then showing a LCD I guess it's the old MacBook Pro or normal LCD running Mac OSX, I found nothing wrong they are just comparing side rent OS with same software on lower quality monitor
I found nothing wrong they are just comparing different OS running the same Apps. Plus you can see that in the video during OS X, there are TWO monitor, there's a edge of monitor
