MSFT has decided that if you can find 9 friends that don’t mind being pitched, you could be chosen to host a Windows 7 House Party and win a free signed copy of Windows7. There are four pre-defined categories for the Windows 7 party: PhotoPalooza, Media Mania, Setting up with Ease, and Family-Friendly Fun. To help spark the partying, MS has posted a unique 6-minute-long video guide to help you get that party rocking…
If the video doesn’t give you enough ideas, the good folks at Download Squad have developed The Windows 7 Party Buzzword Drinking Game [to be played responsibly, of course].
- Mentioning ‘jumplists’ – Take a drink.
- ‘Better than Vista’ – Everyone takes a drink.
- Mentioning any product whose name contains the word ‘Live’: Everyone takes a drink.
- Saying any product name containing more than 2 words: finish your drink.
- Mentioning any product name containing more than 4 words: finish your drink, and neck another.
- ‘My Mac does that already’ – Everyone finishes their drink, and you neck another.
- Windows crashes: the party’s over. But if there’s any surplus alcohol left, we’d hate to see it go to waste….
