You know what the French love? Cafés. They love them so much, apparently, that Microsoft has decided to open one in the heart of Paris to drum up excitement about Windows 7. The Windows café will serve coffee and pastries (it is a café, after all), and will also have Microsoft products -- such as the Xbox -- on hand for customers to play with, but it won't actually sell any Microsoft wares. The shop, which is currently being built at 47 Boulevard Sebastopol, will be open from October 22nd onward, so if you're in the area you should check it out before it's gone for good -- we hear it'll only be there for a few short weeks. Finally, a reason to go to Paris!

As a frenchman, I would say she wrote the article the french way!
We often make long sentences consisting of a main subject enriched with a plethora of details. Hence the commas, this is the only way to insert the details in a single sentence. Indeed sounds choppy to the non-french (just loved Alimas' comment)!
Speaking/writing english every day, I used to make such long sentences. Almost always confused the people I was talking to... Now I'm doing my best to cut them down into a set of shorter ones. Hope it is getting better now... ;-)
If you look the address up in google maps / street view it used to be wet willies. Giggle :D http://bit.ly/21fvp2 Wet Wwillie's Windows.
That sounds like a fabulous Idea! What a smart way to drum up business to knock its rival off onto its head. Apple.com, please be warned!!!
