Amazon’s Unfortunate Windows 7 Freudian Slip

Surely this is some kind of innocent SEO-related keyword slip, right? I mean, Microsoft definitely doesn't want one of the biggest online retailers in the world billing its new OS as Windows Vista 7 Home Premium, right? Right?!

I mean, such labeling would play right into detractor's hands.

Regardless, Hodgman has been dispatched. New Apple I'm a Mac ad is imminent. [Amazon Windows 7 Resource Center - Thanks, Matthew]
