Microsoft Opens Windows 7-Flavored Cafe in Paris
Microsoft appears to be going all-out on its marketing blitz for Windows 7, the long anticipated successor to Vista poised to atone for the previous OS's sins. In addition to launch parties, promotional pricing, and even unicorns, the software giant plans to open a coffee shop in Paris.
Called the Windows Cafe (what else?), it will be open to the public for a couple of weeks starting on October 22nd, the official launch date for Windows 7. Inside the cafe, visitors will not only be able to get their drink on, but also play with various Microsoft products, such as the Xbox 360, mobile devices, and other doo-dads. However, they won't be able to actually purchase any of these products because, you know, it's a coffee shop and not one of Microsoft's Retail Stores.
No word on what fanciful names Microsoft will give its assortment of coffees, though TechCrunch has come up with a few interesting suggestions, including the Bing Cappuccino and Windows Live Fruit Cocktail. We just wonder if the chewy churro computer will finally make its debut.
