You must like Windows 7.

You must buy Windows 7.

You must tell your friends about Windows 7.

You must buy many, many licenses of Windows 7.

These are not the droids you're looking for.

Honestly… now I've seen everything.

I don't know anybody who would be interested in a Windows 7 Launch Party, and I'm friends with a bunch of geeks.

I think the video is pretty silly. On the other hand, I like the idea about the 'party'. I have friends still haven't worked on a Windows 7 computer. A good computer will run Vista at an equivalent speed of 7 just without the new interface. I have an old laptop that runs Win7RC and a desktop. The laptop was fine on XP but it works speedily with 7. The XP desktop machine was slow and pathetic but once 7 was on it, it was faster. So there is a difference. I don't believe for a second though that Windows 7 is alone enough to buy Windows.

I suppose I can end this comment by saying that I will probably be hosting a party.

OMG, I cannot believe this. I couldn't watch longer than about 2 minutes. I just want to go out and get a "Windows 7" tattoo . . . on my forehead. Maybe Apple could pull this off, but not Windows.

Of course, any excuse to have a drink is worth looking into and they specifically mentioned having a drink . . . Maybe I will do this after all, but no computers, just drinks. I think my house has 7 windows so I have everything I need. Drinks and windows.

Wow, good catches guys.

I'm also slightly intrigued by their choice of characters, obviously picked to appeal to certain demographics.

Still, this sounds like it would be the most boring party ever.

I have to agree… this is by far the worst I've seen from these guys. And you just gotta love the horribly processed added voice-in at 1:01.

I'm not Windows user, but I have to give credit for what they have done. This is definitely not one of them.

The only redeeming quality of this vid is the fun one can have watching the clock on the stove jump from 3:50 to 3:52.. to 4:00.. to 4:20 within the span of 6 minutes.
