Windows 7 Party Pack
Today I got my Windows 7 Party Pack in the mail. Yes, for the same goofy launch parties in the videos, but what the hell, it’s a free copy of Windown 7 Ultimate, which should be a nice upgrade from the copy of Windows Vista business I got for watching some developer videos at its launch.
Instead of inluding things really needed at a party like food and beer, Microsoft seems to have have just gone with the lame end of party supplies and thrown in some streamers, ballons, napkins, a card board “center piece” and a big poster. For activites, they have thrown in a puzzle and a deck of playing cards, which makes the lack of alcohol even more puzzling since copius amounts would be required to make either of those much fun at at party.
And what will the guests bring home? About half a dozen small cards with advertisments/coupons and a large bag to take them home in. So it’s probably best not to tell your guests what they’ll be getting before the come to the party.
Of course I took a few pictures of all this(also first test of the camera on my new BB Tour). Later on tonight I’ll probably install Windows 7 and should have a review up soon(right after my reviews of my E71, Ubuntu 9.04, the Pre, and my Tour).
