Mademan Sep 3, 2009 3:58 PM	I actually cracked a joke at a customer who was buying party food and such for the eve of the Windows Vista launch. It turned out it was his birthday, and naturally we both laughed. The humor was quite clear - who on earth would throw a launch party for a windows operating system that no one wanted? This one really takes the cake.
Pari Sep 3, 2009 4:17 PM	Wow what a wierd idea Anywho i signed up
thesorehead Sep 3, 2009 4:43 PM	shrug Win7 has had little but praise since the beta, even with people trying it out as a "main" OS on everything from netbooks to CompZilla. Not a lot of software can claim that. Not sure I'd throw a party for the launch tho.

osama_bin_athlon Sep 4, 2009 12:00 AM	yeh? I'll play......we all could wear party hats, and stuff!
fliptopia Sep 4, 2009 1:09 AM	You have a party, get drunk and somewhere a long the line a thought of windows 7 comes into it... before the next round of shots knocks them right out again. Since when does anyone take notice of what a party is about these days?
DarkForceMage Sep 4, 2009 2:10 AM	You have to advertise the OS I'm sure.. or something. Or you could try seeing if Windows 7 makes the PC it's installed on alcohol proof.
smadge1 Sep 4, 2009 5:54 AM	I'm sure you could have Windows 7 jump out of a cake at some point.
pumpjockey02 Sep 4, 2009 9:02 AM	After the recession they are now getting us the paying public to host their launch parties, hey I am in the uk so I am throwing one.
bushi Sep 4, 2009 11:40 AM	No sweaty nerds at my house thanks.
antifunker Sep 4, 2009 12:33 PM	A party, with computers, and you get a free OS - what's the catch?
Jedi_Vader20 Sep 5, 2009 10:27 AM	Perfect time for a LAN I'd think. Plus I can showcase W7 on the TV :D
