What Does Windows 7 Have to Do with Showtune Parodies?

As usual, Microsoft gets no love from the commentariat. It's sponsoring a branded content variety show on Fox created by Seth “Family Guy” MacFarlane that will feature Windows 7 integrated into the programming. What does Windows 7 have to do with bawdy animated show tune parodies? I guess we'll see. Pundits are arming for bear.
I'm a fan of modern integrated campaigns that incorporate branded content and social media. If I ran Microsoft's initiative through Forrester's evaluation tool, I suspect it would come up a little short on exclusivity, relevance, and creating a feedback loop for analysis. But it's poised to go viral. Whether that's a good thing or not...
Forrester clients can read our report, and work with us on using the diagnostic tool to evaluate their own campaigns.

And now the deal is off. Variety says it was more about the overall content of the show, than about any potential Windows 7 jibes, and that rings true.http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118010418.html?categoryid=14&cs=1
