Global Windows 7 Launch Party

[jfar]

Congratulations lads, I hope everything runs smoothly for you.

As far as the laptop goes, apparently there is a sweepstakes drawing for them.

 

[MrGreen]

Wait, so if you're a finalist does that mean you get Windows 7 Ultimate free and host a party? I thought it was just 64 people. I'm a finalist also.

I just gotta know what's up, lol. Gettin' readay for mah partay.

The finalist means that you are a finalist - get clicking the response button on the mail

We’ve had an overwhelming turn out of people signing up to host a Launch Party for Windows 7 since going live earlier this month. Starting today, finalist emails are going to those who signed up to host a Launch Party and if you don’t get a finalist email, don’t worry, there are still other ways to participate.

If you signed up to host a Launch Party and receive the host finalist email, please read the email carefully. Receiving the finalist email doesn’t mean you’ve been accepted to host just yet. You will need to be among the first to respond via a link within your email to be confirmed as a host. This extra step is needed due to the amazing response we’ve had from people interested in hosting a Launch Party. Spots to host a Launch Party are limited so we want to make sure folks who signed up are still able to host.

After responding to the finalist email and confirming, you will then receive a confirmation email. You’ll then be able to begin planning your Launch Party and sending out invites!

If you were not accepted to host a Launch Party or live in a country where Launch Parties are unavailable to host, you can still hold a Windows 7 gathering of your own. We are providing Windows 7 tips, content, demos, and training here online for you to host your own gathering or “meet-up”.

Anyone know what the price will be at these parties for Win 7 and what other MS software is going to be available.

 

[Antman]

The host will recv a package containing a Windows 7 Ultimate Signature Edition.

The party package includes a visit by Kanye West who will inform all of your guests that Beyonce's party is better.

No special event day pricing has been announced in conjunction with the parties.

More than likely it will be a typical Windows 7 Ultimate case that was signed by either Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, or both

The OS will probably be the exact same as a retail Windows 7 Ultimate

Thank you Bud,thought maybe it came with a rare photo op with Bill and myself for the local sales posters in the stores, LOL

For you fellows in the US here is the info on the laptop, I'm excited I was confirmed as a Host here in Canada, but the Laptop sweepstakes is only available for you folks

"As a plus for US-based successful hosts who are not Microsoft employees, they will also be eligible for a sweepstakes to win a mini-notebook laptop personal computer worth $750, of which a total of sixty four (64) prizes will be awarded. "

I hope you have a good wireless connection that day.

 

[Zidane24]

Some people realize this...some don't so I thought I would clarify

If you make it as a finalist than that doesn't mean you get to have the party. You have to have the confirmation email which chains from the finalist email. Only 64 people (I think...) get to have the party so keep that in mind

 

[Tews]

He hopes his neighbor has a good connection too! :devil2:

I think everyone who confirms in time will get to host a party. The 64 people is a sweepstakes for 64 laptops.
