    Japan Watch: Akihabara Stores Using Porn to Sell Vista

    We all knew Japan loves running Hentai games on Vista, so it's no wonder that stores selling Microsoft's newest OS are advertising to the same market.

    Scope this ad, found in a shop in Akihabara, saying "Vista Aero function is not possible on XP". Of course, Aero is a pun for "ero", or "erotic", something Ashcraft had to explain to me between swigs of sake and bites of a turkey and cheese sandwich (don't ask).

    But is it helping sales? Not even in Japan. – Jason Chen
