That is called branding.
When was the last time you watched a Movie? I mean really closely.
Notice how many different brands are noticeable either with the
characters using them or the Logo being front and center. (Bond
Movies are notorious for this.)
Companies pay big monies to have their logo plastered in a movie and
be identified with something.
Yes even Apple does this too.
MS was touting that it is a bargain in this time of tight
monies. It's logo being plastered all over the ad is what they aimed
at. When you think saving money think MS.
Actually it was a good marketing approach in this time of tight monies.

There is the MS logo prominently displayed three times in the ad,
and "Windows" is also displayed.
