Welcome Change

Yeah, I must admit that I find this whole Windows 7 House Party thing strange (if not a little corny), but it seems as though people are really getting into it (and this is true globally...). So, right on to the Windows Marketing folks. Of course, this is Channel 9 and we don't work for Windows Marketing Smiley We had an idea for a Channel 9 party of sorts where Niner nation takes part in a virtual party which manifests itself in creative, funny, clean (no foul language or... you understand) short videos that you send to us. Here's the basic idea:

 

We want you to send us a short video (20 seconds max) of yourself (in your favorite party atmosphere) explaining why you like Windows 7 (or don't like it, but then that's kind of a downer unless you like frustration or unhappy parties - which is your prerogative). The Channel 9 team will be creating a few skits ourselves and then we’ll compile the best videos and air them as one big Channel 9 house party. Be creative, be funny, be serious, just be you. Also for extra incentive - we will randomly select one video from your submissions and send you a copy of Windows 7 signed by Steve Ballmer.  Make sure your audio and lighting are decent and send your submissions to lfoy@microsoft.com

 

Party on, dude.

 

Love,

C9Team

deadline for submission??

 

I will be at a local MSFT office next month, Tampa on the 21st  I wonder if Russ will be there?

the 21st pm and the 22nd am are the microsoft partner "Loadfest" events...

 

I should by then have a new Hp laptop for Win7 loading (if it all works out right)

 

tablet + multitouch and the price is not bad at all...

 

but I am planning on maxing out the ram and going with the 250 gig drive @ 7200 rpm.

 

not sure i like the swirly - cute graphics on the case thoug... it'd take it with a plain case if they had the option!

That's me : lfoy. I'll be collecting the entries and compiling the best ones into the final video. So - be creative!

Off-topic,

 

Make sure you get a good warranty, in last weeks I've heard of at least 4 HP laptops, goin' totally FUBAR.  Not that laptops never go awry, but 4 from a single brand, makes go hmmm?

I hear ya....   well I will be ordering direct from HP.

 

as far as going bad hey I have heard stories from every brand....  to me it's a factor of how many they build that some number will have issues.  so it's 4 out of ??? how many?

and not many folks are making this kind of laptop right now.

Good point Dovella, is this another one of those 'US Only' competitions that pervade the interwebs these days?

Only the countries that can't have Win7 home parties should be included.

Charles, send out the english ultimate. Everyone on Channel 9 is able to get through the English installation screens and then download the free language pack. People here are smart!

If I win this, it would seriously be my third free (legit) copy of Windows 7. Can we get something else signed by him?

Why? You are already in with a chance to win because you were sad enough to want to hold a real party. Are you that greedy that you want to take a chance from people who couldn't do the real thing?

Well if you limit it to the suggested "Only the countries that can't have Win7 home parties should be included." that wouldn't be a problem.

 

Obviously italy doesn't deserve an exception to this.
