Advertising OOPS

This is actually Currys / Dixons / PCWorld's advert for the fact that Windows 7 is out!



Am I the only person who doesn't think the message here is "Windows 7 won't run on your existing PC, better throw it away and get a new one at great expense"?

Way to undermine an actually decent MS product in an attempt to shift your own overpriced hardware!

Classic!

Totally ruins Microsofts 'this will run better on your current hardware than Vista' game plan.

that was largely my thinking.

Although I'll see that poor marketing campaign and raise you This one that I saw last time I was in London.

I understand the advert works in context, but poor tag line is poor.
