Cool advertising trick, nothing more.

So does that mean I'll be able to have superbar tuna and home groups salmon?

[Rohdekill]

So you slap a couple of "7"'s on the wall and paste an MS logo up and that makes it a theme'd restaurant?

What part of the Windows 7 theme does that ugly table cloth play?

what a joke.

They should do an Apple themed restaurant; two dishes to choose from, you'd be force fed throughout the meal and it would cost you in excess of a thousand dollars.

Arguably, only in China does it actually work.

I completely fail to see the point in this. Advertising purposes?

didn't you read the OP the restaurant is in taiwan, not china.....I actually expected this sorta restaurant in japan . but instead of a windows them restaurant it would be a ghey-arse final fantasy restaurant.

In China, the food would probably be counterfeit and cracked.

It's.. an Operating System.

Why the hell would anyone eat at a restaurant themed after an OS? >.>; People are weird.

It's not a themed restaurant. It's basically a point-of-sale cross-promotion for a limited time. Way to over-report a story.

[Pharos]

It certainly sounds like a moronic idea at first.. But look at the amount of free publicity this is getting. I bet it will increase their revenue, regardless of how ridiculous it looks. And that's pretty much what they're aiming for. Good for them :shifty:
