Have some Windows 7 with your espresso.
While Microsoft is gearing up to open retail stores in the U.S., the company's take on a European presence seems to be a little different.
According to various sources on the web, Microsoft will be opening up a temporary Windows Café just in time for the launch of Windows 7 on October 22. The café will be located in Paris at 47 Boulevard Sebastopol, and will only be open for a couple of weeks following the launch of the new operating system.
In the location, Microsoft products will be on display and for demonstration, but apparently they will not be offered for sale. Unlike the retail stores, the Windows Café will not be a place for shoppers to buy Microsoft products, as the shop will only sell food and drinks.

Will there be french fries?
This is actually interesting to me, because France is part of EU, and EU and Microsoft didn't always go well together
What are the chances they'll have wifi in the cafe?
It would be nice to visit but I'm afraid of catching a virus.

Don't worry, if you bring a mac, you're impervious to viruses.
thats a good way to show off windows 7 to the public, great idea msoft
That's pretty cool actually, if they opened up a cafe near me I'd go. It doesn't look very inviting though, they need to uncover the windows and let in more natural light.
"Don't worry, if you bring a mac, you're impervious to viruses."
at least in your mind...
if macs r impervious to viruses, than linux must b immortal
what a nerdy thing
As long as hot Engineer gals come and show/demonstrate thier engineered features...I'll be there.

WTF!? Stop believing what you hear in commercials. Look, I'm not against MACs but I am against spreading false comments like yours.

The front sign says : "Windows Café will open it's doors on October 22. In the meanwhile, don't hesitate to surf on the pavement." Unless they're offering you to leech some other hotspot, I guess they will provide wifi!
will they sell apple pie???
snails and windows? Yummy!
will they sell apple pie???
Yes, but you'll have to hack your plate and fork for it to be edible. Even then, you should expect some sluggishness when running nom.exe due to the plate and fork emulation required to eat apple-based foods with uncertified cutlery.

No they are not. They are just owned and operated by idiots. Computer geeks couldn't careless about paying an apple tax just to waste their time to make a virus for 1% of the computer market.
^ Once again, It's sarcasm...
I'll come by and show them how much faster I can access windows applications and how much easier they are to use when I run Windows 7 on fusion using unity mode on Snow Leopard. It'll be good fun!
In the end I think I'll just get yelled at, because I don't speak a word of French >>;;.
heh before I start any kind of stupid argument. Windows 7 is miles ahead of Windows Vista, and it's usability is a lot better, and I'll even admit to the rare advantage it has over Snow Leopard. So Windows 7 is not terrible... don't get me wrong!
Let's all talk about this over a coffee in France ^^.
