The result was to delete the image.

Setting aside that I did not have a Linux machine at the time, the point of a desktop screenshot is that it provides context, showing what these applications might look like on an actual machine our readers might have seen before. Most users are not familiar with a Linux desktop nor is there even a single Linux desktop we might choose. Further, the taskbar is a completely incidental but unavoidable inclusion. The screenshot was done with Apple's own software, designed by them to make it impossible to take a screen capture without including at least some of Apple's design elements. There is no plausible reason to think they would sell a screen capture facility to their customers that cannot be used without incurring a copyright infringement. This is consistent with WP:Software screenshots#Choice of platform, which recommends but does not require screenshots taken only on FOSS operating systems, acknowledging instead a lack of consensus re: incidental inclusion of OS X elements.
 * I don't see any reason why a free image could not be created, by cropping off the non-free elements at the bottom and top of the page. -- Diannaa (talk) 02:35, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
