The video has been up since december, but Dell took it down once The Verge found it out.
You can watch the vid on [URL="http://www.theverge.com/2014/2/3/5374544/dell-combines-os-x-and-windows-8-in-a-laptop-commercial"]The Verge's site[/URL]
And here's the now [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UGRqRXWPw8"]dead Youtube link[/URL]
I don't understand, is it hackintosh, is it a skin for windows 8? I don't see the point or the funny.
There's like a hundred thousand OS X skins for windows 7/8.

It looks like they took a macbook and put the Dell name on it. The marketing team seemed to just try to make it look as good as possible without making it true.
Unless that comes with the laptop, I don't understand why anyone actually did this, I can't even imagine what that person must of been thinking to add that in to a commercial, it's obviously a mac theme, but they kept the windows taskbar and even the start button.
its pretty obvious its just a video edited on to the laptop or running on it.

Dell's Marketing team's Graphic designers made up a fake interface for the Dell laptop, where if you swipe Windows 8 Start screen to the left, you end up in an OS X environment (This is not a thing, and I'm pretty sure it's not possible) and so on.

It's sort of like an emergency hipster mode. For those moments when you REALLY need to look pretentious FAST.

Ok so basically when you leave your anti hipster friends you can turn off w8 mode and enter a starbucks and go mac
I see now.
"I'm not a hipster, see, I have w8!"
"I could have sworn that was a mac!"
The way she slams that laptop shut really irks me.
