Yesterday I received an interesting email from Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT), invited me to organize a launch party for Windows 7 to help Microsoft to celebrate the end of October. Hosts Party to obtain a free copy of Windows 7 Ultimate and the chance to win a PC.
The parties are organized by a site called houseparty.com, which was new to me. Presents the party can choose from four themes from different parties: PhotoPalooza, Media Mania, easy configuration and fun for families. Each party comes with a special kit that is sent to the host. Not many details about what Windows 7 part kit contains, but from the description of events houseparty.com others, often seem to have coupons, key chains, T-shirt transfers and other trinkets for the guests.
Windows 7 is a product that lends itself to a party? Product-oriented parties have generally been the realm of plastic kitchenware, baby, and sexy underwear. I like Windows 7, but this is a high tech world different than the users camped overnight to be first to buy Windows 95. However, it is difficult to complain of an excuse to throw a party for friends’ nerd, with party favors provided by Microsoft.
If you are selected to be a host for a party of Windows 7 and are perplexed about ideas for the activities of the parties, here are some of my suggestions:
Media Charades: Home Media Player, mute the sound, and choose a display. Play a song and see if anyone can guess who rely solely on the display.
Turn the bottleneck: Call a PC manufacturer and ask them why that PCs sold last month is incredibly slow with the new update for Windows 7.
Blame on the driver: Browse by Device Manager with the Roll Back Driver option until the system eventually stops cause blue screen crashes during games.
Scavenger Hunt: A person's name, a feature that could easily find in Windows XP, such as Add / Remove Programs. The first person to find in Windows 7 wins. Time limit 15 minutes.
Bobbing for apples: The guests throw their iPods, iPhones, iMacs and a barrel of water, then try to remove using only their teeth. If the devices work longer, do not worry, the package probably comes with some coupons for a discount of 10 percent on a Zune.
