Polish version of Microsoft had photoshoped out the black guy, but they still left his black hand. However, it is probably funny only for us, but not for Microsoft and especially not for the guy who shopped the image.
Microsoft tells CNET, “We are looking into the details of this situation. We apologize and are in the process of pulling down the [Polish] image.”
Currently they returned the un-shopped version to the polish website, but still the screenshots are all over the net, so we say – FAIL!

it is not racism in my opinion. there is really small amount of black people in Poland, and when comapny like to advertise something – adverisement should be addressed to customer. I think guy from left side (Chinese) also should be change into white / european / polish guy.
