A quick glance at the above photo might have you believing that's the site of a Microsoft Store being constructed; actually, it's an Apple Store. Yesterday, in the Jungfernstieg section of Hamburg, Germany, a group going by the name of ".WAV Collective" apparently vandalized the soon-to-be Apple retail location. They casually went up to the building posing as a team of construction workers, cordoned off a work site, and proceeded to screw pre-made panels, forming a Windows logo, to the side of the store's black veil -- all in broad daylight. Looks like the old question of Mac vs. PC just got a bit more confusing over in Europe. Don't believe us? Have a look at the collective's own video recap of the events posted after the break.

[Thanks, Toni]

Windows does not work that way! Green goes into upper right and blue into lower left!

See? There’s no pattern here. I’m not interested in your conspiracy theories.

You're right, *hehe*

Well, this thread kinda belongs in Jokes and Funny Stuff but oh well, lol. It'd have been even funnier if they got the logo right.

i was going to say how stupid this is, until i realized that if it where the other way round i would be like "lol this is soooo funny, windows is such a fail", i guess all i can say is that the mac and pc "extremists" (of which you could say i was one of the mac guys) will always disagree in our funny kind of way :-)

Lol! Why would they put a Windows logo there? For fun? Trickery? None the less, it's still funny.

Apparently they switched colors so that, technically, MS can't sue them for using the Windows logo. Still, that was funny. Real-life trolling xD
