Microsoft takes help of Family Guy to sell Windows 7

In an attempt to make the launch of Windows 7 even more successful, Microsoft has approached Seth McFarlane and Alex Borstein, better known as the creators of Family Guy. “The show, dubbed “Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show,” will air Sunday, November 8, at 8:30 p.m. (ET and PT). There won’t be any commercial breaks; just Windows 7 built into the story line.”
It is difficult to estimate the impact of this, but it does seem that Microsoft is dead-serious about its launches. The Redmond giant quite possibly will try everything so as not to leave any room for Apple to react, although it is a different story how successful it will turn out to be.
