Steve Ballmer Directing "House Party 7" 359
theodp writes "What are you doing on Oct. 22? Microsoft is putting a Tupperware-style twist on the upcoming Windows 7 rollout, launching a new initiative to encourage thousands of employees, partners and technology enthusiasts to throw parties in their homes and communities to demonstrate and help spread the word about its new OS. People accepted as official launch party hosts will get their own copy of Windows 7 Ultimate Edition, and a chance to win a computer. Host spaces are very limited, so apply now, kids. Hey, what could possibly go wrong?"

But as soon as insert-MLM-company-name-here* starts selling Windows 7 it will be.

You have to be pretty nerdy to consider installing windows on 15-20 of your closest friends laptops a "party."
More like pretty sadistic
You see those as mutually exclusive? Sounds like someone doesn't read the Boston Phoenix classified ads.

But no, you go ahead claiming that people will be paying $300 for an improved TCP stack, and get modded Insightful by the drones...

All of which I would call SP3.
This crap should ahve been in Vista, instead they sell us incomlpete stuff, then push the completed stuff into a 'new OS'; which isn't a new OS.
This is what was supposed to be in Vista.
