Family Guy and Microsoft are teaming up - no, seriously, they REALLY ARE.

Yes, it’s true – Seth MacFarlane has signed a deal with Microsoft to promote Windows 7 in a live action/comedy special due to air in November with fellow FG alumni Alex Borstein.

The show is titled “Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show,”, and will have no commercials, but they will weave in Windows 7 promo spots that are supposed to “blend seamlessly with show content”, which I’m guessing will be funny gags of various Family Guy characters trying out the new Microsoft operating system.

The Family Guy/Microsoft duo isn’t stopping there, though. They’re also embarking on a 12 week college tour that will give approximately 4.3 million college students the chance to try out Windows 7 and see how much it either rocks or sucks (anything is better than Vista). The tour will also feature entertainment like outdoor movie nights hosted by “Family Guy’s” Stewie and Brian, online videos, and other “Family Guy” content.

Here’s an example of what we’re in for November 7:

What do you think? Good idea? I’m guessing that Microsoft is betting on FG’s popularity with young males in their twenties to boost sales of their newest OS, but I believe their biggest problem is going to be washing the taste of Vista out of our collective mouths.
