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.
