Although the caption for the tweet did not draw controversy, the image attached to it was somewhat a surprise to some.
Instead of a photo that featured a Windows PC, the official Twitter account of the software firm posted an image that sported one of the computers of Apple, an M1 iMac.

Apple M1 iMac and Windows
As per a news story by 9to5Mac, what's made the mishap more interesting is that the official Twitter account of Windows tweeted an iMac, which features an M1 chip.
The news outlet noted that it would not have been much of an issue if the iMac in the photo is an older Intel version. It comes as it could easily run Windows through its built-in app, Boot Camp.
However, M1 Macs are specifically known for their inability to install and run Windows natively-unlike their predecessors.
On top of that, it is worth noting that Microsoft also offers its own computer hardware under its Surface lineup, including the Surface Studio, Surface Pro, and Surface Laptop.
