By now you’ve probably seen the ad campaign for Windows 7, where various people take credit for Windows 7. Below is an example of the ad in German.

This got me to thinking, what if they used celebrities in the campaign? and did a mash up with another popular internet meme?

One person jumped immediately into my mind:

This is too good not to share: Dilbert and Wally convince the Pointy Haired Boss to get on Twitter.
