Microsoft Store Opening With Win 7, Ashley Tisdale

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

Microsoft is opening the doors of its first brick-and-mortar store this week and yes, there will be a special celebrity guest. Drum-roll, please! This Thursday, Microsoft presents Windows 7 and Ashley Tisdale!

Earlier this year Microsoft announced it would open the company's first retail store in the fall. If you (like everyone else) assumed that "fall" meant October 22, aka Windows 7 day, then give yourself a pat on the back. At 10 a.m. this Thursday, Microsoft hits Fashion Square mall in Scottsdale, Arizona.

If you want gift bags and tickets to see Ashley Tisdale, arrive early. Tisdale is scheduled to perform at 5 p.m., so make sure you're out of there by 4 p.m. you get there early to get a good spot.

Now, I don't have to ask how excited you are, because I just know all of our readers are huge Ashley Tisdale fans. I mean, I'm so stoked that I had to Google 'Ashley Tisdale' to find out who he/she was (she was in High School Musical 1, 2 and 3 in case any of my fellow ill-informed brethren are wondering).

Anyone in Arizona planning to head down and see what's what? Let us know in the comments below!

Ashley Tisdale? Damn. I guess they're targeting people that are frequently at the mall? (And by that I mean teenage girls)

LOL I thought "Tisdale" was the next gen Intel or AMD CPU in the works....

Glad I don't live in Arizona anymore. More excuse not to be there for the grand opening. ;)

I just vomited in my mouth a little. But seriously, what the heck does she have to do with Windows 7?

The only thing I can think of is that they're trying to target a group of people who will have no choice but to ask their parents take them to the concert. Once they get there, the kids can listen to music and they can wander around and be tempted by all the wonderful things on sale. It's the perfect crime!

So I take it horse face is the new attractive?



Horse face? Wow, really? You must have ridiculously high standards because she is a very attractive woman. I don't know why the guy says he is 16 though, Tisdale is like 24 or something.

... I've never even heard of Scottsdale. From what I gather, Ashley Tisdale is from High School Musical, I guess? That movie put me to sleep in 5 minutes.

The choice of the slightly popular, slightly attractive, and slightly talented 24 year old Ms. Tisdale reflects the mentality of the 12 year old in charge of Microsoft's marketing department. It also shows the lack of budget allocated for this affair.

Sorta related, I got my little sister a laptop with Vista and helped her set everything up and fix compatability issues with old games. She loves it so far and turned the glass bright pink :) I love my little sister

Wait, so people are angry that MS couldn't give you a more famous celebrity to ogle for free?

BTW, Ashley beats every gal I see on the street today except for one. (The outer boroughs of New York are ugly)
