    i find it funny that the starter edition is for detroit, too. that's written on the ORIGINAL version of that image, too.

    for the rest, well.. yeah, try again. anything that puts osx as "the secure thing" is just so not funny anymore. except for macblinded ones maybe..

    i do like the white box of ultimate, though..

    This is just hilarious...

    Windows starter edition only 2 apps running explorer.exe and an ad for windows 7 ultimate :laugh:

    Home basic premium and Home premium basic...

    I would love to see Fancy smartphone edition, Cash register edition and Voting machine edition in action :D

    The gaming, education, government and prison editions looks like the ones to stay away from...

    Not to make this into an OSX bashing thread, but I hate those "I'm a PC" / "Mac" commercials, especially the one where they say Macs are virus free. That is such false advertising it's silly.

    Those commercials make me laugh though. I hope no one seriously believes those.

    They are targeted towards the completely uninformed consumer and people who are already Mac fans, both demographics likely to believe the commercials.
