windows-7-whopper_2 As most of you know that Windows 7 has been released not to long ago. (October 22nd 2009; to be exact) Microsoft has partnered up with Burger King in Japan to sell what’s called a “Windows 7 Whopper”  This Whopper has seven beef patties stacked that reaches 5 inches in height, this 1,000 calorie busting Windows 7 Whopper will cost around $8.55 for those that are welling to have immediate surgery for foolhardy enough to try eating one.

If you want to get this Windows 7 Whopper, you will have to go to Japan to get one.  This Whopper is only available for seven days only, completing this run of sevens.

Microsoft is hoping for a fresh start with Windows 7, after a poor reception for Vista, the previous version of the software that runs most on the world’s personal computers.

Microsoft has a reputation for quirky ad campaigns, most recently a strange series with Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld. This particular ad may leave a bad taste in your mouth, as well. After all, the company has been criticized for releasing top-heavy, bloated operating systems. A blog on the Computerworld theorizes that “this could be one of its worst promotional ideas ever.”
