Somebody who has the DVD might want to confirm this.

We don't have a Vista Business DVD of our own to confirm this one, but we'll just stick with the tried and true "it's on the internet, so it must be true" mantra. Apparently a blogger named Kwisatz has uncovered a "secret" photo embedded into the hologram that encompasses the Windows Vista Business DVD. This being Microsoft, the photo naturally depicts three total nerds, grinning excessively at their own cleverness. Of course, this could be a total Photoshop, but somehow we find such an embedding eerily plausible, so we're going to stay cautiously optimistic that this is real. Hit up the read link for full res versions of the discovery.

Update: A friendly tipster just sent us some pretty solid proof of the photos (yeah, multiple).

Looks like it was added after manufacturing. Resolution on the photos is greater than the cd.

How would they even find that? "Hey, I'll just check out that hologram with a microscope!"
