Inside the Windows 7 Launch Party Pack

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the too-long-since-microsoft-had-fun dept.

Barence writes to tell us that it seems Microsoft has been grinding away in the corporate world for so long, they have forgotten what "fun" means. PC Pro managed to get their hands on one of the "party packs," and it seems woefully inadequate. Nowhere did we see a pin-the-chair on the Ballmer game, giveaways that you might actually use, or even a few balloons or streamers. Instead, the only reason to get a party pack seems to be the free copy of Windows Ultimate Signature edition, which doesn't do much for your party guests (unless you burn them all copies I guess, but we would never condone that). All-in-all, it seems that Microsoft should have gone to the nearest dorm room and asked for some pointers on how to have a good party.

    "I still fail to understand how any sane human being could actually LIKE Windows."

    Apparently, you have not been exposed to SCO or SYS V.

    Or AIX.

    Or DeskMate.

    Or DOS.

    There have been worse things, just not many, nor so recently. Except maybe Gentoo, but I'm biased and beyond redemption in this area.

    Just so you know there are balloons or streamers in the pack. Get your facts before talking. Slashdot has really gone down in qualities nowadays.
