I was watching TV and saw one of those Bill Kurtis AT&T Laptop Connect ads. It was about an Acer netbook, but interestingly, it looked like it ran OS X. I couldn't find this same ad on Youtube, but I found a similar one. In this one, Bill Kurtis's IBM Thinkbook looks like it's running OS X:

Ads that feature OS X (youtube links):
AT&T Laptop Connect Card - Connect Anywhere - Bill Curtis
Bill Curtis vs Michael Phelps in a race

It's really interesting to see that AT&T is getting into OSX86 business. But it might also be that they're just making screenshots of OS X and displaying them on their PCs in the ads. But why do that if they could just use Windows to display the same demo
