Kylie, age 4 1/2, uses a Windows PC


Subway has Jared; Microsoft has Kylie.
The Subway sandwich chain uses everyman Jared Fogle in its ads to emphasize the health benefits of its menu over that of fast-food burger restaurants.
Now Microsoft is using a precocious 5 1/2-year-old girl named Kylie in its ads to emphasize how simple its Windows 7 operating system is. Even a kid can figure it out. Take that Apple.
Kylie first came to the public's attention last year, when at the age of 4 1/2 she starred in a Microsoft commercial. (See above.) She's starring in a few more commercials timed with the launch of Windows 7, which was released Thursday.
