Probably sensing that those un-ironic house party videos weren't really going to appeal to Generation-Y, Microsoft has decided to partner with Fox Television and Seth MacFarlane (creator, executive producer and voice for numerous characters of the hit animated sitcom "Family Guy") and act as the sole sponsor for the 30-minute variety special titled "Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show" on November 8th at 8:30 PM.
The special will feature a mix of live-action, original animation, some of the best "Family Guy" musical numbers and what Fox dubs "surprise celebrity guests." MacFarlane will co-host the special with "Family Guy" co-star and writer Alex Borstein (she's the voice of Lois).
Of course, everyone involved promises that the integration with Windows 7 will be seamless with show content. That sounds all well and good, but last time I checked, "Family Guy" actually very rarely mentions or even shows computers or the Internet at all. And when they do...well:
Now this could just be my Apple-obsessed brain, but that looks like an animated MacBook Pro. Not to "Family Guy" though. Look at how they repurposed the above clip with some Windows 7 love:

See. Seamless.
