Windows 7 has finally arrived, and now that the day is here, you might still be wondering which version is right for you. Do you stick with Home Premium, or go all out and splurge on Ultimate? If you're hungry, and happen to be in Japan, order the Windows 7 Whopper Edition, available only at Burger King (where else?).
That's right, even Burger King isn't letting this long awaited marketing opportunity slip by. So what separates the Windows 7 Whopper from other versions of Windows, or other burgers? Try a (dare we say it?) whopping seven beef patties stacked over five inches high, which is almost twice the size of a 4x4 at In-N-Out Burger.
The promotion runs for a week and the first 30 customers each day will be able to snag one for ¥777, or about $8.50 in U.S. currency. Then the price jacks up to ¥1,450, or just over $17.
Well played, Burger King.
