With Windows 7′s launch just around the corner, Microsoft seems to be trying its best to come up with new – creative – ideas to increase the public awareness of Windows 7. The software giant has gone from TV commercials to as far as letting people interested host their own Launch Parties. And now we hear about a new “Windows Café” opening up at 47 Boulevard de Sébastopol in Paris.

Yesterday, several photographs of the cafe, which is still being constructed, appeared on TechCrunch. The cafe is intended to show off the latest Microsoft products, including its Xbox 360, Windows mobiles and obviously Windows 7. Visitors will be allowed to play around with the devices. Nonetheless, they can’t buy anything apart from the snacks and drinks provided by the cafe shop. What’s interesting is that the cafe will start operating on 22nd of October, the same day Windows 7 will be released - coincidence? – and will be open only for a few weeks to promote Windows 7. In the meantime, residents and people along the sidewalk can enjoy free wireless internet as the text on the poster says in French:
The Windows Café will open its doors on October 22. Don’t hesitate to browse the web on the sidewalk in the meantime.
So if you’re living in France and would like to try out Windows 7 and other Microsoft products, get ready to pay a visit to the Windows Café.
