This photo was taken by Shanghai blogger Jakob Montrasio on Saturday. He writes:
I could not believe my eyes when we left the “Banana Leaf” restaurant in Shanghai’s Pudong district yesterday - there was a huge advertising on the 421 meter high Jin Mao Tower! On one of the biggest skyscrapers in Asia! Yes, it makes absolutely sense to advertise like that in the country where you can buy a copy of Vista for about one dollar. Whatever Microsoft!
A commenter over at Flickr wrote:
Hmmm. I wonder how often the tower needs to reboot.
We just want to know how much the ad cost. We assume slightly more than one of our Skyscrapers.

Thanks for the link Dan :)
By the way, the Banana Leaf restaurant in Pudong is much darker then the one in Puxi, or do I remember wrong? The Puxi one was overbooked, damn...
Anyway, great Thai food there (at a slightly high price), Shaghaiists!
Meh, will that increase the sales of Vista? Perhaps, but only if Vista is not stupidly overpriced.
Cool!
I wish they did this on some of the buildings in the US ;)
Cheers..

Does this mean that the Chinese economy will soon crash? Will there be a red screen of death?
Wow that's a very impressive ad.. wonder if it will be on special for $3 rmb.. (just kidding) :P
And in a crazy twist, both GIZMODO and german TV Station GIGA TV used my image, ignoring my Creative Commons license. Nice!
This photo shows clearly how the "old" Bill is desperate for his new-WOW O.S.!!! Only 244 copies of Window$ sVISTA [in italian "svista" means something like "bad-seen"] sold all over the China!!!! But... nevermind... pirates still will help "little" Bill another time to diffuse his $oftware!!!
Gbye from Italy to everyone!!!
