27.05.2009Microsoft getting ready for Windows 7 marketing?
Microsoft sure has been hitting hard at the competition lately with their latest round of "Laptop Hunters" ads with success, and now as we get
closer towards the final version of Windows 7, it looks like Microsoft is preparing the latest "I'm a PC" marketing featuring Windows 7. This
photo of the sticker was first revealed by our own Neowin reporter Tom Warren, and while Windows 7 hasn't been featured in the TV ads yet, I
suspect it will soon appear in the next few months. Box art and pricing for Windows 7 has also yet to be revealed, but when they are, we'll be

add-on. Dubbed as version
4.10, the new version offers,
among other improvements,
support for 8.1's public

translations, made from

fixes.
There's
no guarantee that this version

build, or eventual updates to
the Beta of Windows Live
Messenger 8.1. The improved
version still works on Windows
Live Messenger 8.0 and above,
so it isn't limited to the
