So today i got a email from Microsoft prbably many or almost all users must have got it It says "Apply online to host a Launch Party. Choose a day from October 22-29 and if you're selected, you'll not only receive a special Signature Edition of Windows® 7 Ultimate but your very own Windows® 7 Party Pack. " Looks like microsoft is doing some strong marketing for windows 7
Apply online to host a Launch Party. Choose a day from October 22-29 and if you're selected, you'll not only receive a special Signature Edition of Windows® 7 Ultimate but your very own Windows® 7 Party Pack. We apply but they will select people accordingly plus they will give free windows 7 ultimate coool man
In order to qualify, you have to download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor Beta. Not sure, but there may be a good reason to call this a Beta. It's taking a l-o-o-o-n-g time to gather data about my system. No progress bar so not sure whether or not it's stalled. Anybody done this?
Never mind. It did take about 10 minutes to run. It checks four areas of your computer to see if it will work with Windows 7. You need to have a minimum of 1 GHz minimum CPU speed, 1 GB minimum RAM, 16 GB free space for 32-bit Windows 7 and a graphics adapter that will run Windows Aero. It also checks your modem, printers, etc.
Cheap method of advertising for Microsoft - it doesn't cost them anything to give away some copies of Windows 7 for free.
What the special about the signature edition of Windows 7 they are offering for launch party hosters ? .
Well I applied way earlier when I got this and now I'm accepted. Anyone else who was accepted having a hard time filling out the forums? They keep timing out when you submit.
Yes I am. http://www.houseparty.com/party/199409 I haven't done much of anything yet though the sites been loading really slow lately for me.
