Microsoft to Give Away Windows 7 on Bus Tour
The wheels on the bus go round and round...
Still haven't upgraded to Windows 7 or you don't have enough licenses to upgrade all your computers? Then you may want to check out Microsoft's upcoming bus tour.
Microsoft is loading up aboard a bus and will be hitting the eastern part of the U.S. as well as Montreal in Canada.

Week 1
- May 21st — Montreal QC, Canada
- May 24th — Boston MA

I'm there dude!!!!
First!! (that is...I'll say that when I walk up to the bus to get my copy)
Yes... that will get you some good will with all Canadians. Travel to Montreal only.
Fail.
1st no VS 2010 Launch Events in Canada, No VS2010 standard, a VS2010 upgrade path to pro that screws everyone (did I mention that the VS2010 upgrade price from Vs 2008 standard to pro is $200 more for CDNs?).
Wow.... really don't want to do business in Canada anymore hrmmm?
Oh, Ultimate even... nice!
May 21st — Montreal QC, Canada
no Toronto?!
No Sunny Florida?
I live in WA state and I see their Connector buses everyday.. but why no bus tour here????
no west coast love! what gives?
No Sunny Florida?
florida in june? can you say flop sweat?
What about the midwest region? I want a free copy too, but no way of this bus will pass here in Chicago
wtf 50 copies per location? that's kinda cheap for a promotional event held by a multi billion dollar company.
yay for Montreal.. I'm just far enough away it would cost me about the price of Win 7 Ultimate in gas to get there, plus I'd have to drive back
Come to Denver, you friggin' hacks. I wants me a copy.
Yay, Montreal's first.
Bah, it came on my Acer Timeline and I wiped it day one for Ubuntu. In other news Ubuntu 10.04 has been delayed a day or two for a GRUB bug.
Thanks for coming to Missouri!
Dang, no San Diego CA.
Update, Ubuntu 10.04 is released, my torrent is running slow, lots of action going on right now for it.
May 21st — Montreal QC, Canadano Toronto?!
Its either Toronto or Vancouver... I wouldn't even consider scheduling anything in Montreal unless its in French... geez
Huh, why the east-coast only, and half in the south? Maybe their research has shown people in the south aren't upgrading to the new OS.
Anybody from around Atlanta that wants to go together send a PM.
east coast bais sowing its ugly head again
So where is the love for western states or city?
Everything AROUND the Toronto Golden Horseshoe area, but not actually in Canada's largest city, Montreal seems kinda out of the way of all places to pick in Canada.
Hope u don't need the 64 bit version, it is the 32 bit only ultimate OEM, and they will not exchange it!
First!! (that is...I'll say that when I walk up to the bus to get my copy)
haha. id be there too, cept its america
Of course, as usual nothing cool happens withing 2 states of where I live.
Great, visit Montreal of all places in Canada
