Apologies in advance Anna, but this cries out for the following comment:

Methinks Microsoft need to ‘polish’ their presentational skills?

Especially as one of the commenters points out the desk-top monitor aint plugged in!

Already can not wait to see dailymailreaderlike comments following mine.
I fully understand mocking at photoshop deficiencies but in general that microsoft did proper job. They are congruent in marketing message. There are almost no black people in Poland so the original picture would look unconvincing. They did not want to make mistakes like M&S in China for example see here:

or Rolls Royce in Germany branding one car model “Silver Mist” once. “Mist” means dung in German.
So to cut it short: applying multiculturalism in the title of your entry is a bit overkill:).

Multiracilism.

Who knows what culture he belongs to?

True, point taken Roger, sloppy of me……..
