The Story of 'How the Super Button became the Windows Button' (Longer title. In case you didn't notice.)
A long time ago when the monitors were less blue and you had to wear glasses to use computers and a radioactive suit to survive it a customer walked into a shop to buy a keyboard:
Customer: -Hello! I would like to buy a keyboard. What do you advise?
Salesman: -Oh there are many fine keyboards here but you are in a lucky position because our latest shipment of revolutionary keyboards have just arrived! Let me show you. *brings a keyboard to the customer*
Customer: -Seems nice and all the letters are on it from the alphabet...
Salesman: -And there are numbers on it too...
Customer: -Yeah I see it but what makes it so special? I mean if I really wanted to I could just type in the name of the numbers.
Salesman: -Ah I'm glad you asked. You see there are numerous special buttons on it which extend it's functionality WELL ABOVE other keyboards. For example there's the Shift key which let's you uhmmm... SHIFT letters. You can SHIFT them to become big capital letters so you can see them easier. There's the CTRL button it... it lets you CONTROL applications without touching your mouse so you save money because you don't have to buy a mouse and there's the ALT button which let's you invoke ALTERNATIVE commands.
Customer: Okay seems really good but what does that Super button do?
Salesman: -Well the Super button is... is... simply SUPER useful and...
Customer: -Wait! You mean the other buttons aren't SUPER useful? You just wanted to rip me off by selling a keyboard with not so useful buttons right? I have had enough of this dishonesty! *thunders out of the shop*
Salesman: *sighs*

Customer walks into a shop to buy a keyboard:
Customer:- I would like a keyboard.
Salesman: -Then you are in for a treat our latest model has just arrived! *shows keyboard*
Customer: -Okay but what does that button with a little window on it do?
Salesman: -Well that's the Windows button it's... it's... you see Windows is an operating system and you know what many people call that button?
Customer: -No what?
Salesman: -They call it the Super button because Windows is so SUPER.
Customer: -Ooooh!Then I want four of that and the keyboard!
Salesman: -Don't forget to buy one for your dog too. He will love it. Actually everyone loves it.
Customer: -Okay then I want five... Hey but I don't have a dog.
Salesman: -You are going to have a dog. I have seen it.
Customer: -How so?
Salesman: -Wondrously magical iBalls! Do you want to see the amazing future?
Customer: -How much?
