Odd thing in Peter Jackson "documentary"

Alright, so, Peter Jackson, the guy who directed the three Lord of the Rings movies, is making a remake of King Kong, which should be released in mid-December. On Friday, he released this documentary showing that two sequels will be made, and the documentary focuses mainly on the direct sequel, entitled "Son of Kong". Here's the link to see the documentary:

In the documentary, I noticed, that Peter Jackson is sitting in front of an Apple monitor (the LCD ones that were the top-notch in terms of Apple montiors before the newer Studio Displays were announced at last year's Worldwide Developer's Conference), but it seems to be running Windows XP, as the screen is black except for the logo and the name of the sysem. So, it's running XP, but it's an Apple LCD. Now, I know the newer Studio Displays actually can run Windows on them, but I didn't think those ones (the one that was featured in the documentary) could. So, seriously, what's up with that?



NOTE: BTW, if you already haven't figured out that it's an April Fools Day joke (or you have but you thought I hadn't), don't worry--let me just reassure you, it IS an April Fools joke (no sequel has yet been confirmed to the movie, and believe me, there are so many things within the "documentary" [I guess I should call it a mockumentary, since that's what it is] to let you know that they're not telling the truth and that it's just a joke), and I do know that it is an April Fools Day joke. I knew right when I was watching it.
