Microsoft has started to ramp up its advertisement of Windows 7 and they’ve enlisted some serious star power to do it; Stewie and Brian Griffin. A special titled “Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show” will air November 8th on Fox at 8:30p  (EST and PST). You won’t have to deal with any commercials, just the constant subtle placement of Windows 7 into the plot line.  The deal is also said to include a 12-week college tour with outdoor movie nights hosted by Brian and Stewie. Can cartoon characters give Windows 7 the “mo” it needs to have a successful launch? We’ll see. And hey, if you need your memory refreshed, this is Microsoft’s last Windows advertising adventure, staring comedian Jerry Seinfeld.

    Family Guy is awesome. This ad crap sucks, but make money in this economy.

    “Windows 7 = copy of mac”… Uh… NO. Mac runs on FreeBSD (unix), windows 7 does NOT.

    “America is cheap”… Dumbest thing I ever head. No other country lives above it means more than us. Think before you speak.

    Linux spends $0 on ads and cost $0 to get. Suck on that MAC and WIN!!!!

    Americans are cheap!? America exists outside of your anus- so pull your head out and take a look around. it’ll do you some good i think.

    fact: we live above our means to a fault in this country. that isn’t the sign of a cheap country.
