    I'm a snarky blogger, which means that I can bitch about any and everything, even if it's free.

    Let's look at this from a realistic perspective:
    1. Microsoft sent out free ULTIMATE versions of Windows 7 (Retail $314.99 at Adorama)
    2. Reusable (possibly recycled) bags with an interesting art print on them. (At least $4.99 ea at Target or Ikea)
    3. A deck of cards. (Nothing outstanding, but some people actually haven't migrated every activity to computers.)
    4. Party Supplies

    Well, let's see, the idea is to HAVE A PARTY for the newest, best version of Windows to date (so say the blogs, including those that begin with GIZ, and end in GIZMODO).

    Wait, that's right, GIZMODO is FEATURED in a Windows 7 commercial. Let's shit on the new product, when they've recognized you're one of, if not the biggest gadget blog on the internet.

    Now, my snarkyness aside, no other company (I'm lookin towards Cuppertino) has done anything near this type of promotion for an OS, or, any software as far as I'm aware. Yes, you concede at the end, but really, it's one hell of a promotion.

    Windows, I tip my hat to you. And I'm going to be installing my 64bit version of 7 Ultimate this weekend....to prepare for my party.

    @LuckyFink: I think the general point is that this is about as inane/insipid as a Tupperware party.

    Fuck this thing.

    If they really wanted it to be a party pack, it should've come with gigabytes of porn so that users can avoid potentially getting horrible computer viruses finding it themselves.

    @anti-hello-kitty: closed out. But if you would like I can send you an awesome true and false quiz that Microsoft wants me to print out to make my guests take. This is why I don't have friends (or my little star).

    @lostarchitect: I tried doing an Executive Email Carpet bomb but even the Head of the Windows Division couldn't get me a Windows 7 Party Kit.

    And I wanted to throw the most kickass Windows 7 Install Party EVAH!!! A shame because I just completely restocked the liquor shelf.

    There's so much hate in this comment stream, I don't know what to say. I say open up your old ass software for the first time, even if it's rotting in obsolescence. Vintage 10100101 FTW.
