I Have Windows 7, I Want Charline and Crystal

Below are two of my favorite commercials. Of all the women in the Windows 7 was my idea commercials, these two are the hottest. Interestingly, the French girl (Charline) looks alot like the British girl (Crystal), but with a tan and speaking a different language.

Update (2010-04-05) It appears the CPB Group has a winner with the Crystal and Charline Windows 7 commercials. Googling Windows 7 Charline is now the main way people get to my blog.

Berlitz Self-Teacher: FrenchI am now convinced that Crystal and Charline are the same actress, that both commercials were filmed in London and that the British version is a voice over. CPB Group is known for trying to generate Internet buzz for their clients. I suspect that was the idea behind using the same actress for the London and Paris versions of these commercials. Both were aired in their respective countries at Windows 7 launch, but now air in North America concurrently.

For kicks, here is some positive reaction to the commercials (and the mysterious actress that plays Crystal and Charline):

-"I like Crystal. She's cheeky". "I hate Windows, but I love their commercials. The one featuring that french chick is great too".


-ButlerGeorge These Windows 7 ads would be much more interesting if Charline (French) & Crystal (British) were in the same commercial. Pillowfighting.


-Altavistagoogle http://twitpic.com/1cjjet - Someone in the US Senate has a fixation with Charline (aka Crystal), from the Windows was my idea, I'm a PC ad.

-SamuelMonnieLike the windows 7 campaign... UK execution in a black cab. Hope they don't fall into a cliche trap.


Negative reaction: 


-YouLoveSolI can only take so much of the overly-caffienated French girl in the overly-played Microsoft Windows 7 commercial. #pleasestop .

-ritarezI don't understand the Microsoft commercials in FRENCH: "I'm a PC andWindows 7 was MY idea." Does French automatically make it better?

-LngHrDntCr13I'm so sick of this pollen & these annoying windows 7 commercials, esp the one with the french girl. Ugggh!

-Nsquared2Dear #Microsoft :please stop the windows 7 commercial with thefrench girl. She's not convincing anyone

-pinkfroggg the windows 7 ads are getting to me...all that "it was my genius idea" crap. Especially the french one!

-DistortedLoopSorry Microsoft, but a cute 20-something Brit or French chick saying Windows 7 was their idea just doesn't motivate me to run out and buy it

-robynfoulksThe Windows 7 commercial with the girl speaking French is SO ANNOYING.

-dlbyronSeriously, ya think French Charlene from the Windows 7 commercial wouldn't want an iPad.

-teh_geekMS needs a new ad agency - majority of Window 7 commercials now are a British girl & a French girl telling you how "Windows 7 was my idea"

-FusionRockRadiosome french on about windows 7 and how it was her idea. what the hell. no one cares. go back to france and tell them, maybe theyll believe u

-purseonalityThe Windows 7 spot with the French girl might have been a poor choice in this political climate; hell, my mom still orders "Freedom Fries."

-iamjavi83I'm getting #tired of seeing that french windows 7 commercial.

-whitekcSorry microsoft, it's going to take more than a pretty french girl to sell me on windows 7#ineedamac

-Phillybergwhy am i not surprised that in the most recent Windows 7 commercial - the French are taking credit for everything?
