Pathetic...anyone notice that the comments are disabled for that video on youtube.com. I don't think there are any fun activities. I would go if there were enough drinks though.
"but you have to make sure you have the right devices on hand..." :O
"Can you believe that Microsoft put the launch of Windows 7 in our hands?"
I am hosting one of these parties. Before everyone slams me, I do love Mac and Apple products. We use primarily Apple at work (school I handle the IT work for). I have an MacBook Pro for work, which I upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I love.
I also have a PC at home that runs Windows Vista (64-bit). I was willing to host some kind of "party" to get a free copy of Windows 7 Ultimate to see if it is really better than Vista (without having to shell out the money for an upgrade or just running a trial).
I believe it even said the guests will get some kind of "goodies" from Microsoft. We'll see what comes with the stuff from Microsoft.
It is too bad I don't have my own (not the school's) Intel Mac Mini (or some other Apple computer) to install the Windows 7 on for the party. That would be pretty funny to post pictures of back on the party website.

Just run it in Parallels and let people ask you about THAT. Maybe they will give everyone a ZuneHD and that way they can double their user base

Try reading off the official MS-provided talking points with a straight face.

does ms have that much money that would pay trolls to post things like this?
My God. I have to laugh to keep from crying. Microsoft's campaigns over the last couple of years (Seinfeld w/ Gates, "Lauren" et al., "I'm a PC" and now these "Launch Parties") reek of desperation. It's as if they're throwing everything they can think of at the wall and hoping that something will stick. Meanwhile, Apple glides on by, churning out one wildly successful product after another.
I really don't get Microsoft's desperation. They still have about 90% of desktop coverage, to Apple's less than 10%. Granted, Microsoft is losing credibility while Apple is gaining. But still, Apple isn't a direct threat to Microsoft. Microsoft's greatest threat is their own marketing department.

Uh, yes....
EPIC FAIL
"We got to have our party a bit early.... " Yah we can tell, now if they'd just tell us what you were smoking we'd be all set!
I'm looking forward to the "I'm a Mac" ads where PC tries to throw a house party.
This whole Windows launch party concept reminds me of the BSD vs Linux comparison. Just substitute Mac and Windows, left and right, respectively:

I dare you to connect to the internet out of the box !
Microsoft ... has since spent $300 million on [ad] campaigns ...
I think they'd have better spent that money on Fixing the Windows OS ...
P.S. : your picture of the new 'Mr Microsoft' with party hat is f-u-n-n-y
Microsoft welcomes you to the world of the bizzare.
I mean surely this has to be a hoax or something...it has to... I mean, fcuk I m lost for words...
