A Spanish blogger, Kwisatz, was supposedly the first to spot a photograph of three faces embedded in the hologram on new Vista DVDs. What's special about the photograph is that it's only a square millimetre in area, making it too small to see without magnification. The picture shows three guys standing together, smiling at the camera.
Following the announcement, conspiracy pundits immediately went into overdrive, proclaiming it an Easter egg. Some state they have inside information that Microsoft is running an internal enquiry regarding how the image got there, which meant that this wasn't known until now, and wasn't approved, and some heads are going to roll.
Unfortuntely, all the excitement was put to rest when Microsoft's Nick White posted about it on the Vista team's blog - "Conspiracy theorists will be disappointed, the photo is only one of multiple images contained in the hologram design, all of whose inclusion serves to make it more difficult to replicate a Windows Vista DVD."
The three lucky men in the photo, said White, are members of Microsoft's anti - piracy team who had worked on the holograms for the Vista OS. There are other images too in the hologram, some of them belonging to art masterpieces in the public domain, added White.
