But I live in the southern hemisphere and it is summer now. Today it was once of the hottest days in my country's recorded history...
Should I be offended that they are using northern hemisphere iconography? Are Microsoft anti-southern hemisphere?
This reminds me of the Windows Fall Creators Update two years ago, which they are calling the Autumn Creators Update outside of North America, including in the southern hemisphere where it was Spring. Also, no apostrophe. A marketing fail on so many levels.
