Why should germans be negative because of a 9?
Am I the only one who gets the joke?
Nein in German means no. So Windows Nein/Windows No... it's word play but quite funny I think.
Got a tip for us?

Anyone that truly thinks OS X is far ahead of Windows knows very little about Windows, or computer systems period. Maybe those people should be a little more specific as to what features of OS X they think is far ahead, because overall, Windows is a far more developed operating system than OS X. You really can't even compare to the two.
Okay... I think we can now safely say a few people don't like the poor guy's hair or voice. However, someone's hair and voice don't affect the functionality or aesthetic appeal of an operating system, so... maybe time for a new tack, hmmm? This one isn't working too well
not to mention some version of windows is used in over 85% of PC's worldwide... and even windows 8 is on over twice as many as OS X
No you're not alone. Most people here only see the inside of the 'Murrrica bubble, so they likely don't even know what Germany IS
According to the article Windows 8 has 11% market share of all Windows machines, i think Apple has already more than that. I'm sure Apple loves to be in the position it is now.

Are you suggesting germans wouldn't know the difference between their word for no and the number 9?
Haha. We all know what Germany is.
"I know that I know nothing"... Your signature sentence is so in line with your comment...
Same here, your brain just goes off in a fantasy preproduction world. You see the ad executives discussing the style and trying to capture the precise market. Personally I think they should have gone for something more extreme but with thick glasses and a lab coat.
Then there'd be the team of stylists. You just want to be a fly on the wall during the ad meeting. It'd be the sort of meeting where Jobs would have sat there for about 2 mins and then explode at the insult to his intelligence.
I seriously wish more posters came with that kind of warning label.
OS X is years ahead of Windows, and Windows continues to backtrack because it went in the wrong direction with 8.
So Newton discovered three law of physics, Newton is human and I am human as well. Technically both me and Newton are based on some speicis, do I get the credit of discover law of physics?
the most significant thing that Microsoft has brought to Windows 10...was the return to the Windows 7 desktop interface. that is all i care about and that is all anyone who has used Windows 8 / 8.1 cares about. no one gives a crap about the other features. the rage and complaints were solely due to the elimination of the standard Start-Menu functionality that people have been using literally since the mid 90's.
it would be like Apple removing the bottom menu bar and replacing it with a confusing array of *********, calling it something hip like "Metro" which ironically rhymes with Retro, and then saying how all of this is innovative. if Microsoft had a focus group of just (1) person and asked them if the elimination of the standard Start-Menu interface in Windows 8 was a good idea, the answer would have been no. no one, not 1 person that i know of thought that was a good idea. it really leads me to believe that Microsoft performed absolutely no customer research at all before this product was released, or rather all of the customer research was done on the Metro interface and they slipped in the crippled and hobbled Desktop mode behind the scenes. what used to take me 2 clicks in Windows 7 would take me 4-6 in Windows 8. Windows 8.1 did nothing significant to change my opinion of the entire 8 platform in general
Windows 8 / 8.1 is the sole reason why i switched to OS X and i am not looking back despite the Windows 10 return to Windows 7 Start-Menu functionality. i've already had a taste of OS X for the last couple of months with a rMBP 13" and i'm already hooked. i still use XP for engineering legacy programs and i still have my Windows 7 laptop and my WHS 12TB server...but my main machine now is the rMBP with OS X

I'm staying on Mavericks anyway, I think both OSes are ugly but given the choice, Yosemite anyday.
I THOUGHT he looked familiar...

Anyway, anything is better than 8.1, and Win 7 is NOT a bad OS... so yeah, good.

Just goes to prove that even it they made it exactly like OS X that you can take Windows out of the crap, but you can't take the crap out of Windows.
Of course they do - just like Apple have done for years and years when launching new major versions of OS X. You are aware that 'free OS upgrades' is quite new when it comes to Apple?!? I have been using Macs at work since the late 90's (OS 8) and have spent a lot of money upgrading the OS on them through the years.
Apple can take a different route since they also make a lot of money from the hardware; the payment for further development and 'free upgrades' of OS X is in reality baked into the price of the hardware you need to run it.
Anyone who uses that as a main argument for using one OS over the other is way off though - in the large scale of things we are not talking about a huge amount of money. All PC's with Win 7 sold the last 8-12 months before Win 8 was launched got free upgrades, everyone else could upgrade for 40 bucks for a long time after the launch. This is more like the cost of a couple of lunches every 2-3 years (if you want - remember Microsoft supported Windows XP with free upgrades for 12 years after launch) than anything that would break the bank.
So forget windows 8 ever happened and then copy a bunch of stuff from osx?
Yeah most of OSX is from Linux distro's . Who is coping who?

Yes its 10 because they are starting new with windows 10 working with all devices no matter what size. All in one.
As a cutting edge technology user his hair has instant appeal to my edgy sensibilities.
It screams "Yeah that's right, I make my own trends!"
To be fair though, the ever changing colours in the background and the music had it's part to play. The initial qualification was way too long only needed one sentence.
