I've never heard the term "global image" before.  A search on Google 
just brings up companies.

Otherwise, Apple has been using the term image since before there was 1x 
CD-R's readily available for PC's (generic term) to burn with, I think.  
Mac users have long been able to make images of floppies and use them as 
a floppy and that's carried over into CDs.

In fact, the program that comes with Macs for doing disk images has 
grown up from a program that just did floppies, through various system 
changes.
