With the countdown now on for the official shipment of Windows 7 next Thursday, Microsoft and friends have been cranking up the proverbial hype machine, but not without a few clinks and clanks along the way.
The potpourri of planned promo activities includes launch parties far and wide on the Oct. 22 ship date and afterward; the release of new Window 7 PCs, including Nokia's new netbook on the same date; Microsoft’s sponsorship of a “Family Guy” extravaganza to be aired on Fox TV on Nov. 8; and an apparently related 12-week college tour with Fox.
In case you haven’t heard about it yet, the main fest is set for Oct. 22 in New York City. So far, Microsoft’s been somewhat secretive about specifics, listing only the time, location, and anticipated appearance of CEO Steve Ballmer on the coveted invitations.
