Friday Randomness

Windows 7 launch this week. Will drop by Gilmore tomorrow to see if they’re already selling OEM versions of Windows 7.

7 patty Whopper

Japan probably got the best deals out of this launch. Not only do they get a custom theme, an official OS-tan voiced by popular voice actress Nana Mizuki, they also get a special Burger King 7-patty Whopper for only ¥777 (for the first 30 customers, ¥1,450 for the rest).

What do we Filipinos get?

A freaking SM North Edsa Launch Event and a PhP 7,777 pre-order “promo” for the stripped down Windows 7 Home Basic. If it was a Home Premium, that might have made sense, but just a PhP 223 discount for an already crippled version? Sorry, we’ll pass.

Oh, and yeah, Apple has already rolled out their Get a Mac response ads. They were fun back in the Vista days, but after the Snow Leopard screw ups and the stability of Windows 7… meh.

More random stuff from this week below the cut.
