German Apple Store defaced with Windows logo

A prank in Germany offers a visual take on Mac vs. PC.

An Apple Store in Hamburg, Germany has suffered the ultimate brand humiliation: being plastered with a Windows logo. The store is currently under construction and doesn’t officially open until the end of September, but a group of motivated PC-loving pranksters pretending to be construction workers were able to slap Windows emblem on the side of the building (although it was upside down).

The vandals, a group called WAV Collective, didn’t have to schedule the operation for the dead of night, either. They simply brought a ladder and put the thing up, as you can see in the video below.
