Actually that's the intelligence of the guys who made the ad. Also, I remember when I was using linux that I had wine installed and when I had a .exe file it would automatically select to open it with wine. I doubt that's what they though of when they showed the ad. :smile:
The bigger the download button, the higher the chances it's fake. This just proves it :wgrin:

Oh, and yes. Your correct about it being more relevant to the knowledge-base of the guys who made the ad. Not the actual Windows soft devs. My bad.
@anon. Definitly it's fake with the size of download button. I guess one could say that size equates to the degree of fakery. LOL, eh?
