As part of its launch of the Windows 7 operating system, Microsoft partnered with Burger King in Japan to sell a 7-patty hamburger. The Windows 7 Whopper rises over 5 inches in height and has the appropriate price of 777 Yen (about $8.50). Hungry customers can buy it for only 7 days only. Microsoft is hoping that Windows 7 will be more user-friendly than its Windows Vista, which has been criticized by experts and novices alike.

Do note that the Windows 7 Burger contains almost 1,000 calories, and plenty of cholesterol. Microsoft is known for its offbeat advertising campaigns, such as the Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld TV ads. Overall, the Windows 7 release is more subdued than previous major product releases and should prove interesting to see if this is indeed a monster success.
