I doubt Adobe is the actual source of the stupid axis-labeling error -- Adobe attributes the images to Digital Media Net, the parent of the site that published the article this is based on -- so I'd imagine it more likely that the error's on DMN's side.
It's interesting to look at Digital Video Editing, the site that published the original article entitled "Macs vs. PCs III: Macs Slaughtered Again".
I'm not enough of an editing guru to comment on the validity of the tests, but the writing is strikingly unprofessional: "Mac stalwarts will cling to the notion that Mac OS X is so much better and easier to use than Windows XP". He's obviously got an axe to grind. Writers who compare Macs and PCs and *start out* with a chip on their shoulder kind of piss me off.
It seems quite possible that Adobe asked the author for a couple of images, and he came up with these worthless, mis-scaled pieces of junk to force his own point. But maybe it was an accident, and I'm just a pessimist.
It's straight up public domain, with no strings attached. Not abandonware, certainly, because there's no copyright on it.
Ever wonder what theater these days would be like if Shakespeare's plays were protected under copyright by a control-minded estate like that of Kurt Cobain? I imagine the content would stay truer to the originals, but I'm a big fan of the creative and nutty derivative works Shakespeare has inspired over the years.
