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.

Well I just love their products really.

Makes you wonder if Apple will retaliate using an uncreative court action :P

How long was it up there for? It could of been up there for weeks because builders do not necessarily care about what they've been contracted to do - they probably thought it was part of the job :P

Microsoft weren't the people who put it up there, it was some randomers :P

Although it always is Apple vs Microsoft, I don't see how they are realistically comparable lol. Microsoft sell software (in general). Apple sell hardware.

The colours are wrong to comply with copyright laws.

The colours are wrong to comply with copyright laws.Copyright laws are irrelevant, vandalism is the only relevant one and to an extent both companies have suffered defamation although it amounts to very little and it's unlikely it'll come to anything.

However just because the colours are wrong doesn't mean it wouldn't fall under copyright law, for instance if you were to release a product with the Windows logo but the colours the wrong way round, or if it even looked at all similar to it, you could still be prosecuted under copyright laws.

The colours are wrong to comply with copyright laws.

The law is defined along the lines of intentional deception.
