It's the final countdown!
Microsoft's advertisements for Windows 7 are going to be huge. With the October 22 launch date approaching, Microsoft will be dialling up the campaigns.
In order to effectively convey the advantages of Windows 7 to the mass market, Microsoft needs to use its short TV spot seconds like it did with the Laptop Hunter campaigns – by highlighting the appreciable advantages of a product over the competition.
Windows 7 has enough new bells and whistles to make the consumer take notice. Of course, they could also just let a four year old convey the excitement instead.

Cute little girl, though.

Good start/marketing if i do say so myself
I don't see too many 60+ people picking up a Mac quickly either. Technology just isn't their thing. Sure there are exceptions but seniors and computers, regardless of the OS, just don't mix well. And since more kids are gonna be using computers than their grandparents, that's exactly what MS is marketing to. Though, it would be awesome to see an old lady say in a sweet old jittery voice, "I'm 95 years old and I'm a PC"
now next thing is to see if they added drivers for my pci sound card since my onboard gets choppy if i scroll down a youtube page..oh wells.. what i get for using outdated technology. still, p4 3.2ghz 800mhz bus is pretty robust even put up against my E8400. just that it doesn't have a very good graphics card.
But I'm sure it will be great, because actually I love vista more than XP
I really want to say they chose the little Asian girl because yeah, she's cute, but also somehow everyone thinks all Asians are smart. Combine the two and there is Microsoft's approach. I'll admit that I'm one of those idiots who didn't know Nokia was Finnish till Transformers because credit is easily given to the Japanese or Chinese as many believe they are that smart and all.
I disagree. Most kids are more technologically savvy than their parents but they are quite often as stubborn and stupid as a rock. Not all of them, but alot of them.
