Really, I do and I’m being sincere. As if it is not bad enough that Windows users have to contend with smug Apple users, they now have to endure THIS from Microsoft.
Imagine inviting your friends for a party, then demoing them the new Windows 7. Huh? Confused? Don’t worry, Microsoft also think you’re an idiot and have made a crap load of instructional videos to show you how to organize a party and what is expected of you at this “launch party”.
Seriously, what were they thinking? Trust me, if you invite your closest friends to show them Windows 7, it will be the last time they ever come to a party at your place. I would not even do that to my friends with OS X, let alone Windows.
I’m sorry, Windows users. I cringe on your behalf. Maybe it is time to finally switch, don’t you? You’re not THAT hopeless, are you?

WindowWare, Tupperware. Hey who knows. These women who sell Tupperware will sell and buy anything Tupperware. And they do it pretty well. Microsoft might be onto something here.
I think if the Tupperware Gals get hold of it, it will fly

Well at least the Tupperware lady gets to make money out of the party! I’ve got some cool ideas for the Windows launch party. How about installing Firefox just for fun. Then save your friends a packet by showing them how they can install OpenOffice.org. Maybe then you’re adding a little bit more value then just feeling like flunky selling someone else’s product.

Yes, isn’t that just cheap from Microsoft?! They could at the very least give away copies to people attending it! I like your idea Dwayne… If anyone knows of such a party happening in Cape Town, I’ll go gatecrash it with an Apple and steal the “guest of honor’s” show :P
