Celebrate Windows 7 Launch at Home, Get Rewarded
In what will go down as a wacky PR stunt, Microsoft will be rewarding you with special editions of its Windows 7 operating system - for hosting its launch party at your home in the week of its international release. In return for hosting the party, you'll be given Windows 7 Ultimate "Signature Edition", and Windows 7 Party Pack. You can choose between four themes for your party: PhotoPalooza, Media Mania, Setting up with Ease, or simply Family Friendly Fun.
Residents of the following countries can apply: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain, United Kingdom and United States. If you're selected, you'll be assisted by House Party - a leading party organizer. "Pick a theme, then upload photos and videos, chat with other hosts, blog your experience, and download fun favours all from your personal House Party page." Here are the details, good luck.

Sounds like tupperware party time:wtf:
But, the goodies are nice, could be fun... think about it; ten girls(or nine, if you want your own tote) - a deck of cards - tote bags for ???:D You could show that Windows 7 would do 'em good.:)
giggity....
Read the agreement carefully guys.
DRINKS ARE ON ME!!!!
No body wants a cheesy photo used for advertising :p
A Windows 7 party? Really.......... I think that Microsoft has hit rock bottom with this... Offering bribes to people to look like they are more interested in MS products....
What is next, "just brand this large ASP.NET logo on your forehead, and we'll send you a free copy of Visual Studio!!!".
Although at the same time, I can admire how brilliant of plan this is, because they are getting all this free advertisement, with close to no cost to them.... Devious...
Second set of pictures will be the sharpie to the forehead of a big 7, then various derogatives like "gates balls were here", "ballmers on my chin", "win7 put it in me", etc etc
Photoshop will also be my friend as I hack in pictures of Shaquille O'Neal and Ben Stein, le prez Obama, Paris Hilton, Spongebob Squarepants, and whoever else comes up on googles top search list.
Should be a good time.
Seems pretty cool I guess to get a free version of Windows.
What happens if I make no party?
If you make no party, they will bring Steve Ballmer to your house and he will bring Microsoft stickers and club soda and attempt to have a party.
