Political leanings withstanding for either of the two dominant democratic representative bodies in the US, Microsoft got some inadvertent attention from both parties during yesterday's White House Situation Room Congressional Leadership meeting.
During the nearly two-hour long meeting, cameras snagged photos of background monitors displaying the use of Microsoft's Windows operating system in some capacity as President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Congressional Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi among others, met.
TechCrunch's Zach Whittaker was among the first to take to Twitter to chime in on the use of Windows 10 in the White House.
Both Microsoft fans and detractors swarmed Whittaker's tweet thread to offer their short takes on the use of Windows 10 in such a high-profile capacity.
Most comments were snarky or a joke related mix with a handful of illuminating remarks regarding the Department of Defense and the Pentagon use of some versions of Windows 10 in combination with Linux servers.
Over the past forty plus years, the White Houses' Situation Room have been photographed, but yesterday's meeting might be the first time that its operating and communications systems have been captured.
