In an online ad for the Polish market, the head of a black model was “swapped out” for that of a white model. The business Web site CNET.com, which first reported the swap, wrote that the change in models may have been made with the “racially homogeneous” Polish market in mind.
A Microsoft spokeman, Lou Gellos, said that Microsoft apologized, fixed the error, and is investigating how the mistake happened.
