Check out this video on how to throw a Microsoft Windows 7 party
Posted by Sharon Pian Chan
Or how to make sure no one ever comes to a party you throw again. To promote Microsoft new operating system, Windows 7, the company is encouraging people to throw house parties for Windows 7.
It's like Tupperware or Mary Kay, except you don't earn a sales commission. You get afree "Party Pack," with free party favors. And a chance to win a free PC.
Check out this groaner of a video below, first spotted by Neowin. It's a how-to video on how to throw a Windows 7 party. This one features four people hanging around in a kitchen that appears to be in a giant suburban home on the Sammamish plateau.
"In a lot of ways, you're just throwing a party with Windows 7 as an honored guest. Sounds easy. And it is," one party organizer says. Tips include organizing demos of Windows 7 features and asking your guests to try out the features.
Hosts can apply to throw parties at http://houseparty.com/windows7usa.
It has to be seen to be believed.
