WAHOO! I'm getting Wndows 7 Ultimate Special Edition for free!

[08nwsula]

Did any of you guys sign up to do the Host a Party program for Microsoft? I did, and I was chosen to help out Microsoft and now they're are sending me a Copy of the OS with multiple serial numbers. I've been running windows 7 since they first released it and I will continue getting to use it for free. Did anyone else go this route? I build for people every so often and now I can really save them some cash. I'm pretty pumped about it.

Party at my house!

whoops, slight misprint. Only one serial. They give you other gifts for the guests like bags and playing cards and things. I mistook "party" pack for family pack. Oh well, I'm still excited.

 

[rickzor]

Just tell them i tested their beta to the maximum therefore i demand a retail copy as well

 

[soundefx]

yoh dude you lucky! I have one question for ...well anyone???? is the final version any diffrent from the RC because i wanna get the final version but not sure if its worth doing since its not exactly cheap here in south africa.

i think windows 7 is microsofts way of saying sorry about vista

appologies accepted

RC has some bugs, plus it expires and stops working on June 1, 2010. So you're pretty much forced to buy Win7 final. Not that it's a bad thing, just the cost can be prohibitive as you mentioned. Win7 is actually very good and MS's best OS yet, IMO.

and stops working on June 1, 2010.

On March 1st it starts shutting down every two hours.

I actually never had a problem with vista. Once you turned off user account control, things just worked better. I do agree however that 7 is a nicer.

Shades of Windows '95.

Party at my house!

Back in the '60's when I was a grade schooler, I was chosen to do a promotional spot for Lever Bros., Inc. They picked me up and drove me to and from the function in a Limo, gave me some new sporting goods equiptment (Rawlings Pro line stuff, glove etc.) and a giant bag of Lever bros. products plus a great dinner and the day off in fourth grade. The package was worth hundreds of dollars back in the 60's. And I was on TV! Later in life when I was in college, I met Sally Jesse Raphael and her and I hit it off. I was on her show and would have tapped it if her husband was out of the picture. Imagine me alone with Sally Jesse eating out of my hand.

So M$ is giving a free OS? I would ask for a night with Bill's wife's high heels tucked under my bed. :lol:

 

[daship]

Cool. I did one better then you though. I got a free technet plus subscription for one year. You get one key. I get lots of keys and eack activates 10 PCs. And I got XP Vista, 7 officexp office 03 office 07, server ect......

Lol.

 

[knotknut]

I wish I was back in the 60's again. Started High School 1964. Defered from military service in '68 for College. Played semi-pro hockey for the California Seals.
Here I am now filling out forms for free stuff as long as it dont cost anything!
Biggest thing back in the 50's I was in a Walt Disney movie about a day at Disneyland. I think I was @ 8 years old. Didnt get paid but it was an experience.

Yeah, I should have played Minor league baseball. My HS catcher played AA for Cincinati reds back in the early 70's. Johnny Bench kept him from making the Majors. That and the fact he could never hit my slider. My HS Shortstop is a scout for the White Socks. He signed all those pitchers a few years ago that got them so far (sorry I don't keep up with baseball anymore and don't know specific names). One big dissappointment for me in life was when I met Donald Trump. He had two beautiful models, one on each arm when I met him and exchanged words. I couldn't believe those chicks didn't give me the time of day. LOL.

Yeah, I miss the 60's. I think back to the times often lately.

I started 4th grade in 1964, HS in the fall of '69. Lots of memories there.

You and me both. If you're name is not Don, Bob, Jim, Tom, Linda, Pam, or Ed...I will forget you're name within ten seconds of telling iot to me. It's become embarrassing. Yeah, the last time a cop asked me for my license I said, "It's right back there on the bumper."

I will try to remember. I dont have any idea of what they want or expect. I'll play along. Free has a nice ring to it.

 

[knotknut]

I think they ought to pass a law that everyone has to have their name on the front of their shirt. Or back. Heck they do it for sports.

I applied to the Windows 7 party deal too. I haven't heard anything, so I am an also ran. You know, recently I came across a couple of names that I will never forget. Bought my daughter a 2006 Honda Civic a couple of weeks ago from a guy by the name of Yu Dick. Then, a while back a Vietnamese girl came into the office and filled out her personal information for service beginning with Name. Bich Phuck.
