I cannot believe that a giant company like Microsoft can make such a mistake. A simple picture of 3 person in a meeting room becomes a big hoo-ha. Firstly, because of Microsoft insensitive to details, like their amateur photoshop skill to replace the head of a black person to a white person. Secondly, their insensitive towards race related matter. What is wrong with a black person on a Poland website. Thirdly, their sloppy job of replacing it back with the original\u00a0 but forgetting to re-align the text box properly. Here is the original undisputed picture. Edited one on the Poland website after the break.<\/p>\n

\"microsoft_no_photoshop\"<\/p>\n

Here is the one that is replaced with a White person’s head. Look at the hand. Microsoft did not even look into the details. I wonder what is in the mind of this person who thought of this idea of replacing it with a white man. And also, the person who approved the picture after the editing. You don’t need to be an expert to see all the flaws.<\/p>\n

\"microsoft_poor_photoshop\"<\/p>\n

So, after CNET<\/a> spotted the mistake and this information goes viral on social network like Twitter, Microsoft acted quickly to apologize on Twitter.<\/p>\n

So, Microsoft did change back the picture but look at the text box alignment. It is out and this incident happened more than 20 hours ago. I seriously think that Microsoft ought to think deeply into this matter. It is not the matter of Photoshopping the picture. It is a matter of how insensitive Microsoft is towards race related issue and how their attempt to remedy the situation is making a mockery out of the Internet world.<\/p>\n

This is the latest captured picture from their website.<\/p>\n

\"microsoft_poland\"<\/p>\n

Will they change it again, I am not sure. You can check them out yourself.<\/p>\n
