    How many of you are holding (perhaps secretly, so as not to embarrass yourself) a Windows 7 launch party? C'mon, I know you're out there. Somewhere. Secretly lusting after the goodness in Weven, and salivating at the thought of being able to foist its moist chewy goodness (like a cake!) on your unsuspecting friends!

    Nope. I've got my hands full with restoring my backups onto my brand new copy of Weven that arrived this morning. The bookmarks are restored, but I've got 10 GB of files to restore.

      Holy crap there's an application process? You mean they are really expecting people to host Weven parties? I had thought the whole thing was just a poorly done commercial, I had no idea Redmond was taking this seriously. Man that's even sadder.

      I don't know if he's actually hosting a party but one of my co-workers husband did apply and got a party kit. :rolleyes: edit: :sigh:

        Nope. Not in the least. I went to an MS launch event and got my free Weven Ultimate a few weeks ago. :-D :-O

          I applied to host one. Not because I was actually going to host one, but because they send you a free copy of Win7 ultimate. I got rejected. I wonder if somehow they knew. :laugh:

              They didn't hold a launch event in my town. They did for Vista, Office 2007, VS 2005 and VS 2008 and all were packed, so I don't understand the resistance.

                  Nope. Sounded pretty lame to me. I've done Linux install parties before, mind you - they're fun because you sit around with a bunch of geeks drinking and comparing hardware, and then everyone goes home with a fresh OS install... Not sure what MS expects us to do with a single copy of We7en... Pirate it? Show it off on one machine while trying to guess if it'll work on everyone else's hardware? Pirate it? Admire the "corporate psychedelia" posters? Pirate it? Lame.

                      :laugh: :laugh: Your reply is inadvertently hilarious because "bacon" is an in joke amongst our friends that I can't even begin to describe in a kid sister friendly way on this message board. As for moose there's none around here unless they're in a zoo somewhere, you'd have to drive an hour, take a ferry for an hour then drive about 5 more hours to even get to a place where there's a possibility of seeing a moose. However I might be able to come up with something kinky that we can refer to as a "moose". ;)

                                Couple guys here at the office signed up and were selected to host a party. I know one of them already has 17 confirmed, and he plans on giving away his signed copy of W7. Oh, yea, in case you didn't know, if you're selected to Host a party, you get a personally signed copy of Windows 7 Ultimate by Ballmer. No. That's not a joke.

                                  That's just surreal. It's an OS. Who the hell cares? 17 people? Who the hell goes to a party themed around an OS release, unless you're one of the creators of the OS? Oh well, I guess it's an excuse to drink other peoples' beer!

                                    Yeah I saw that this morning, someone at work was talking about the new mouse they brought out yesterday. Looks pretty nice, hassle free, plug-in and go. Even the 21 inch is nice and costs about $100 *less* than the comparable model at Dell!

                                        :-O Here's my justification: I found it as more of an excuse to invite a few of my buddies home and have a nice time. And yeah, the shiny new ultimate edition (actually signature edition - whatever it means) is waiting in the box. And this laptop is going to arrive in a week with "Free DOS"... I could use a license, ya know? :)

                                          Yeah I saw that this morning, someone at work was talking about the new mouse they brought out yesterday. Looks pretty nice, hassle free, plug-in and go. Even the 21 inch is nice and costs about $100 *less* than the comparable model at Dell!

                                          I've been waiting for an iMac update (the Mac fanbois and rumor sites have been predicting it for a few months). I don't update/upgrade home PCs very often - approx every 4-5 years so I may just go nuts and get the 27" quad. I think I'll stop by an Apple store to see the screen and Magic Mouse in action first.
