    Windows Vista Coffee (WOWffee)

    This is not April fools, but I find it funny.

    SEATTLE BASED Starbucks had better look to its laurels because a popular chain of Indian coffee shops based here in Old Bangalore and elsewhere in India has something to offer it clearly can't.

    Cafe Press is offering a special promotion on Microsoft Vista WOWffee, with an irresistable Orange Buzz at RS40. Not only that, the chain has branded all of its menus with the Vista logo, making sure that you don't miss the message that Vista is as cool as the chain carrying the coffee.

    You think we're making this up, don't you? We're not. Here's the menu outside and inside to confirm Microsoft's ambition to spread its empire ever wider into every area. OK, at RS40 ($0.93), the Vista coffee is a little more expensive than the bog standard beverage. But you're paying for the quality of the brand, aren't you? Intel, how will you respond? Google, what will you do?

    Cross promotion reaches a new low?

    Don't people go to coffee shops to destress after dealing with shITe?

    Is this a new performance upgrade for Vista?

    Do I pour it over the MB, or spit it over the keyboard?

    That's some funky advertising right there.. pretty stupid methinks.

    Eh, I s'pose I'd have a cup of the ultimate or business edition.

    Advertising would not work well in a Dutch coffee shop

    Actually some do have advertisements for all kinds of related stuff. For example the latest equipment to home-grow it with the best specialised fertilizer and stuff !
