StewartKnight Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 I was one of the first to confirm that I'm hosting a Windows 7 party, so I get all the freebies (excluding balloons!!) W'Hey,...... if only Windows 7 would install on my MSI motherboard! GRRRRR
sparkeh Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 W'Hey,...... if only Windows 7 would install on my MSI motherboard! GRRRRR So...a Windows 7 party without Windows 7?
mjs_mjs Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 So...a Windows 7 party without Windows 7? sounds about right
SC-UK Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 I've been invited to one of these, just an excuse for a load of techie's to get together and scare the normals :-)
Batman Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 I was one of the first to confirm that I'm hosting a Windows 7 party, so I get all the freebies (excluding balloons!!) W'Hey,...... if only Windows 7 would install on my MSI motherboard! GRRRRR Firstly, a Windows 7 party sounds like a really bad idea! Secondly, you can't install Windows 7 on any motherboard. You need a hard drive
mcloum Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Saw this last night, sound like such a stupid idea!
Michael Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Secondly, you can't install Windows 7 on any motherboard. You need a hard drive You're absolutely right Windows 7 is a bit hit and miss with some motherboards it seems (joke aside).
Fatmas Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Install Ubuntu and try and get it on a virtual machine... Then turn it into an Ubuntu party. SHHHHHHHHH don't tell Microsoft
featured_spectre Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 I too am running one of these, but we are changing it slightly as also an opening of our new suite type deal!
StewartKnight Posted September 22, 2009 Author Posted September 22, 2009 what freebies do you get? The best of the freebies is a signed (don't know by whom) copy of Windows 7 Ultimate. Other fun packed freebies include: Windows 7-themed totebags, puzzles, napkins, playing cards
RabbieBurns Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 so i just say im having a party and they will send me a copy of windows ulitmate?
Batman Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Install Ubuntu and try and get it on a virtual machine... Then turn it into an Ubuntu party. SHHHHHHHHH don't tell Microsoft That is no better than having a Windows 7 party... why have a party for an operating system?! It's like having a barbecue in honour of your electricity supplier... it's dull, sad and boring. If that's the only excuse for having a party you can think of then you've got problems!!!

Are you trying to say that you've never been to an N-Power Hog Roast? 2
mac_shinobi Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 A LAN Party ( I Think thats what they are called ) sounds like a better plan - wouldn't mind doing some gaming

It's like having a barbecue in honour of your electricity supplier... it's dull, sad and boring. If that's the only excuse for having a party you can think of then you've got problems!!! Well I've just saved 5% on my electrical and gas supplier with E-on. Want to come round to see all of my hobs in action? 1
gshaw Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 I saw this but how do they know if you actually have a party or not? Edit: just read the email again... it's in partnership with some place called House Party... so I guess your host might go up as a public event?
Fatmas Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Gates comes round with a crate of cider to see if anything is "popping off". He will also bring a playlist of Microsoft approved tunes to play on Windows Media Player 1
StewartKnight Posted September 22, 2009 Author Posted September 22, 2009 Oops, better hide my iPhone then. Anyone got a Zune I could borrow....... thought not! 1
featured_spectre Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 It is open for the people who you invited, if nobody turns up then well thats just too bad! lol. We will be inviting other techs as well as suppliers around to our school
Batman Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 A LAN Party ( I Think thats what they are called ) sounds like a better plan - wouldn't mind doing some gaming Yeah, I did that with some mates at new year... living room was full of computers
StewartKnight Posted September 22, 2009 Author Posted September 22, 2009 Lets be honest, it's really a "Vista is dead" party! Which surely is a good enough reason to have a party!
Michael Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 I want a Win7 mug Last themed mug I bought was a GTA IV It's like having a barbecue in honour of your electricity supplier Hilarious but very true Batman. I can't see myself going to an OS party. A LAN party is something different altogether. Nothing more satisfying than blowing up a fellow Edugeeker
