    Tallest Windows Vista Advertisment Ever, Evar

    vistashanghai.jpg Totally abandoning the idea of subtlety in advertising, Microsoft went all out to let people in Shanghai know that Vista has arrived, splashing "Windows Vista" on the 421-meter tall Jin Mao Tower. Yes, the whole tower.

    Here's a handy rule of thumb: By definition, no ad with any dimension that exceeds 1000 ft. is classy. Besides, I doubt that just because a sign is super-big it's going to suddenly compel people in China to pay more than a buck for Windows. – Matt Buchanan
