Windows 7 Ubuntu Wallpaper on Toshiba?!

In the Boxing Week sale flyer from TheSource.ca, in Canada, the Toshiba Satellite laptop PC ads show an Ubuntu Linux wallpaper, though the ad text says the PC features Windows 7 Home Premium.

Here's an image scan from the flyer:

Ironic, being that Linux support in Toshiba is quite poor.

Here's another scan from the same sales flyer. The laptop package includes McAfee Total Protection 2011:
