Still photos of smiling people, no matter how ugly or handsome, don't mean a thing to most people. Best to just go simple, and drop a nice big logo, snazzy snapshots or thumbnail of a screenshot, and put a nice color scheme on the poster/page. You could only make less mistakes.

Good job, Microsoft! But I like the plans and new .NET logo:) So Microsoft is alternating between dense, almost incomprehensible technobabble for developers (Azure) and stock photos of smiling faces for consumers (Windows 7).

I am almost certain that you will probably find this same picture in other Microsoft marketing materials if you looked hard enough. That's no excuse for the oversight though. File it in the 'gaffe' folder. Microsoft use a catalogue of press and marketing images that are available on their intranet.
