Yes, yes, he’s holding a folder that, though sheer design brillance, was partly coloured the same as the background. The remaining black of the folder, the white blur behind the text, and the wrinkles on his sleeve add those final touches. You just can’t buy that sort of design experience anymore.

Erm, guys? Not that I want to stand up for Microsoft or anything here, but look again. The shape under his right elbow isn’t the background showing through, it’s some sort of document! It continues down into his hand.

Maybe that is what it is suppose to mean
If you install microsoft you have to be able to bend to an extraordinary angle to get it to work properly.

Once you install it it will contort you into this shape
