Could Beyonce be advertising Vista?
March 06, 2007
Did anybody notice thie picture of Beyonce last week that saw her wearing a necklace that spelled 'UPGRADE' in large gold letters? To what lengths will Microsoft go to get people to buy into Vista?
Seriously though maybe there would be mileage in it for Microsoft: remember when Linford Christie wore those Puma contact lenses at the Atlanta 1996 Olympics? I think Microsoft should pay Britney Spears to have the word UPGRADE shaved into her nether regions: there's some really prime advertising real-estate going begging down there.

Who ever wrote this article is a complete idiot and obviously has no clue about Beyonce or her music. She has a song called UPGRADE on her latest album. It's also the same song she's doing in the commercials for DirectTV now. Nothing to do with MS and Vista. You should probably learn to research before spouting off drivel like this.
