Title: Throw your friends a Windows party!
Post by: worker201 on 24 September 2009, 16:49

Microsoft is trying to get people excited for the launch of Windows 7, so they're coordinating host parties.  You're supposed to invite your friends over and convince them to buy Windows 7.

I suppose I would go if someone asked me.  Cuz there would probably be beer or something.

I would go and take a live Linux CD with me, just for fun. (H)

At least with Tupperware, you can keep your vegetables fresh.

Looks like burning an audio CD from your downloaded mp3's isn't criminal at all, it's a great way to socialize:

*giggles* I never thought Microsoft would resort to something like this. If I was to ever go to one of these parties, I'd probably bring a Ubuntu CD with me or my copy of Windows 98 just to see the masses throw a hissy fit.
