I got the email saying "You can host a party". The copy of Windows 7 Ultimate would take the place of honor next to the copy of Windows 7 Ultimate I already have *wink wink*.

Ridiculous.   One thing

Submitted by tehR0XX0Rz on Thu, 09/03/2009 - 1:16pm

Ridiculous.

 

One thing Microsoft did with XP that still pisses me off was not including a few nice themes and screensavers. I don't know if there was even an add-on with this sort of content, which had been the case with Windows 98. Changing the color of the windows a little doesn't count, nor do the same screensavers we've seen since Windows 3.1.

 

I hope there's a little extra something this time for those of us who actually pay for the software.

I knew we should of kept those windows 98 launch balloons. if you were lucky enough to have  had an invitation to a launch day site, (back in the days when Texas Instruments made there own laptops) you would have experianced the big stink the security goons made about loose balloons on the ceiling at the convention center in Houston Texas.  My wife and I Made our Daring Escape with 30 odd ballons in tow !!!! mwaaa haaa haaaaa !!!

Limited to the 50 states...

What a bummer...  I would have totally thrown a bash for some military folks over here in Germany where I live...  We always can find a reason to party - what better way then with a new OS coming out...more reasons to drink frothy beverages....

I signed up, gotta get me a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate.  RC1 is kicking ass so far.  Best OS Ever, I'm talking to you apple fanboys.

They do it for Tupperware, cosmetics, Pampered Chef, and adult toys. Why not an OS? BECAUSE IT'S WIERD.

Sounds like a good excuse for a LAN Party

Submitted by ColdDeck on Thu, 09/03/2009 - 11:07am

I've got ten computers in the house.  Might as well put them to work.  Plus it sounds like a good excuse to have a bunch of people over.  The kids will love the balloons. Some of the adults might too.

You have to give Microsoft some credit.  They are trying to relate to consumers better.  Sure, it's awkward. But they are trying.  It's like one of those feel good movies where the stuffy corporate tycoon finds out he's the father of a spunky eleven year old and they have to go on a cross country road trip to find her missing puppy.  By the end it's all smiles and tears.  I hope my party ends that way.

Hey yeah, why don't you all

Submitted by MRrelabled on Thu, 09/03/2009 - 9:55am

Hey yeah, why don't you all come over a watch me on my computer. 

Yeah, and I don't think I'll be spending more on the party then the price of Windows 7 at the Microsoft store.

Balloons -> out  Shrimp -> out

PR

Submitted by jwalch.hawk on Thu, 09/03/2009 - 9:27am

I think Microsoft is headed in the right direction right now; the marketing machine has really come to life lately. It started out slow with the Seinfeld and I'm a PC commercials, but now we've the laptop hunter commercials (which were evidently enough to piss off Apple) and the Bing commercials (which I thought were actually above average as far as TV commercials go). This thing is a little gimmicky, but that's ok - it shows that Microsoft is willing to aggressively market itself rather than just presuming everyone is going to buy their product (which is pretty much the way it had been, I think).
