?Family Guy? to hawk Windows 7
Credibility they have heard of it
Software giant Microsoft has decided that the best people to flog its upcoming Windows 7 operating system is “Family Guy” voices Seth MacFarlane and Alex Borstein.
Redmond has sponsored a TV show dubbed Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show that will merge with a pitch for Windows 7. There will be no commercial breaks; just Windows 7 built into the story line.
MacFarlane is better known as the creator and primary voice of "Family Guy," and Borstein, voice of the series' Lois character. Microsoft and Fox also plan to put on a 12-week college tour allowing students to try Windows 7 and tying in outdoor-movie nights hosted by the Stewie and Brian characters of "Family Guy."
Windows 7 is set for its big launch next week in New York.
