Fluffy and Sweet Windows 7 Commercial Debuts


Nothing makes us want to purchase a new version of Windows like a cute little girl and plenty of fluffy animals, or at least that's what Microsoft hopes. According to Ars Technica, the first commercial for Windows 7 (above) was uploaded Thursday onto YouTube's WindowsVideos channel.

In the clip, Kylie (you might recognize her from the 'Rookies' marketing campaign) stumbles upon her dad's open laptop. After reading some 'happy words' (i.e., positive reviews) about Windows 7, she decides to make a slideshow about the new operating system. What kind of slideshow would a small child create, you might ask? Well, Europe's cheese rock anthem 'The Final Countdown' plays in the background (for dramatic effect, we assume), and each slide features an animal that's so cute you just might explode. We're talking a pig wearing bunny ears, a big-eyed unicorn, a rabbit wearing a hat, and of course, a kitty.

At the end, Kylie says, "More happy is coming," and the date October 22nd, 2009 appears on the screen. If Microsoft wants to target old ladies or single males under 10-years-old, mission accomplished. [From: Ars Technica]
