Dell accidentally put OS X on on one of its laptops for a new commerical

Some PC manufacturers choose to imitate Apple’s MacBook line with various products, but Dell has taken a slightly different approach. In a recent marketing video, the company has raised the bar above MacBook imitation and transformed its very own Dell XPS 15 into a laptop that combines OS X and Windows 8. The entire marketing video, released in December, shows a laptop that seamlessly switches between the Windows 8 Start Screen and apps running in OS X, all thanks to a flick of the wrist or a tap on the screen.
While it might look like Dell has created the ultimate hackintosh, it’s all a giant mistake. Dell’s XPS 15 is a Windows 8 laptop that’s not designed to run Apple’s OS X operating system, and it’s clear the marketing team got a little too creative during the production of this particular video. We’ve seen plenty of similar blunders before, but never a minute-long product demo of a Windows laptop that also "runs" OS X.

Seriously how stupid can you be? I wonder how some people have such high stakes jobs in the real world.

I am glad I am not the only one who didnt see anything. I know what to look for and I just couldnt see anything OSX related.
Edit - After watching it a few times, I did see the 3 colored dots, but that doesn't scream OSX to me. I just assumed those were from the software she was using.

The task bar at the top looks like OSX to me. Also the fact that dell removed the ad would lend some credibility.

The program being run was in OS X. The Windows version is different. The OS X version is crisper, so they chose it.

Window Blinds is a hell of a program.
ETA: Not a single OSX shot in the entire video. Lazy article is lazy.

The Operating system is put in as an after effect. The computer is filmed while it is off, the OS placed into the footage later.
The program that they inserted was an OS X version of that software.
