Want to party?

Apparently the actual official date of a 'launch' for Windows 7 is on the 22nd of October - and people can apply Microsoft to 'host a party' and, if selected, the Host gets a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate and party pack of napkins, balloons, etc. (What!! No gift-certificate for a cake?!)



Hmmm ... the Host of this party gets Windows 7 software - and the guests get??


Yup, no party and free publicity from me and please don't send me an invitation to one either - unless they give each guest something pretty darn good too! :cryz:

 

I might look into this, as being a student, financial times are hard for the best of us, so anything cheap or better, free, is worth a look at

 

Well, come to think about it ...

A BYOB party with the host providing hot dogs might just be fun after all! Go for it - and I've got my fingers crossed for you, DirtyPolo!

(Maybe Microsoft has a soft-spot in their hearts too for those like you who help endless people with computer woes! ).

 

Not sure what my chances are as they did have a little note on the side saying that most of the "hosts" will be selected from the states
I can only hope I am one of the few overseas hosts chosen

Nice timing as I would be in my University accommodation so I will have plenty of people to invite round for it! lol

 

Just an update to say that I actually got chosen as a host for the Win 7 party

Just gotta check the dates available with my university course dates to see if I can do it

 

This is terrific - congratulations, DirtyPolo!

 

HOPE YA CAN DO IT DP

 

LOL yea I got that email as well and I think I deleted it. was sounding good till the end

Yes just checked it got deleted, just that finances are tight and with only 3 Months to save for Xmas and a whole load of Birthdays between now and then I think I will just upgrade to the retail version.

 

I was reading about this last night, it was saying that for hosting the party you get entered into a draw and could win a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate.
There are 2 themes so it said and you can add pics and what not to a site that MS give you.............

 

theres uh.. 4 themes atm that I can chose from. and your guests dont have to be real life, they can be "online party goers" as the site describes them they just have to sign up to the site as guests. They also send out like 9 free "goodie bags" for the guests, no idea whats in them but they will be themed around the product and the chosen theme.

So maybe I can get away without spending any money at all .

 

Now that would be a truly easy 'party'! No mess, no fuss and no actual entertaining costs!
