Microsoft has introduced some product tours of Windows 7 in action, similar to Apple's guided tours.Long Zheng spotted them on Microsoft's Windows 7 site as the company ramps up it's marketing of Windows 7.
In all of the videos, Latika Kirtane, product manager for Internet Explorer, stars once again. According to Zheng, Kirtane was the star of Microsoft's infamous Songsmith marketing video. The Windows 7 videos have a similar feel to those that Apple uses every time it has a new product to demonstrate. They are both informative and knowledgeable but do not come across as purely just marketing.
There are 4 videos currently published which we have included below, they are a good hint at Microsoft's marketing plans for Windows 7.
Why? Is this exam or news site?
"You asked, and we listened" and That was in just the first 15 seconds.
Is this Apple invented quote? http://www.google.com/search?q=%22You+aske...&start=150&sa=N
See nothing related to AAPL
I can't really see much similarity beyond the fact they are both demos of an operating system - it's not like they copied Apple.

Jesus Christ. You people need to stop taking these things soooo seriously, and stop looking for some deeper meaning behind the choice of words when there clearly isn't one. Describing something as "Apple-like" in the tech world is much more effective than calling something "EQuanimity Holiday Bookings-like", isn't it?
Without a point of comparision, I'm not seeing it. Links?
No. The Neowin audience primarily consists of 14 year old Microsoft fanboys who back into a corner and start frothing at the mouth as soon as someone posts something complimentary or even vaguely positive about Apple products. Unfortunately.
lol good thing im not one of those kids

This:
haha, good one
Though, one thing's for sure. He's a "special" human with a "special" touch
yeah but the picture fixing tools arnt included in windows 7 sadly
So in Vista they are included, in windows 7 I have to downloading, hence not a feature of windows 7?
...most normal Windows users will find these useless. Glad to see they are heading in the right direction.
so true, except that i dont really "roam" forums
If you look close after when "she" connects to a network. You'll se that it stands "Send feedback"
Also, I noticed that some of the buttons are larger. Is that just the Youtube player?
(or am I wrong and it's actually Halo 1 or 2 being shown?)
lol, i watched tha tmovie last night and lol'ed when I saw Latika walk out. Musta used Jamal's money to come to America
She sounds like someone trying to sell me something.
Production wise, not info
Actually I think they're using the Beta, the old vista games icon is still there in another part of the video.
