Another marketing blunder for Microsoft. Can’t they hire someone that’s actually in touch to replace Ballmer and help protect them from themselves? This is so sad. WTF are these people thinking?

Couldn’t they have just gone with a 7 ounce burger? Instead of 7 wafer thin beef patties, probably an ounce or so, each. Not all of which is purely lean beef. I would have respected a more healthy product. Like a 7 inch long Subway sandwich. Or a 7 ounce yogurt, now that so many brands are down to 6. All this food product theater will be temporary. I’d be surprised if they kept selling that burger past this Fall.

#13 I use that pic a lot..it was just a placeholder for this story. It’s hard to offend the readers of this blog from what I can tell. We DO try.

With this quality marketing, how could Microsoft fail?

I think I see an installation DVD between patty #3 and #4…

Waiter, I’d like a 6-pack of Snow Leopard Shots, instead.

‘Course it pales to the original In-n-Out 20×20.
No crappy software involved.

Just like the Zune being windows (and pretty much US) only, why not try and WIN over Mac using Vegans like myself? Is that just left in the “too hard” basket?

this isn’t anything new, when I was in Japan in 2007 McDonald’s had a Big Tomago burger with three patties, three slices of cheese, and an egg with special sauce. and if you got the combo it came with large fries, a coke, and a 6 piece McNuggets! they sold alot of them

#3 both sales and profits slumped badly. Earning grew only because of cutbacks. The company must improve its cash flow to get to 50. I don;t see it.
