It sounds like no one at Microsoft actually bothered to watch "Family Guy" before jumping at the chance to market to its audience.
Microsoft was paying to sponsor the show in full, making it ad free. In exchange Windows 7 promotions were written into the show itself.
Fox plans to find another sponsor, but they'll have to work fast in order to get replacement footage shot promoting a different product. The show is scheduled to air on November 8.
Other agreements to promote Windows 7 using "Family Guy" tie-ins remain in place.
