By now you’ve probably seen the horrible videos that Microsoft is using to promote its grassroots Windows 7 Launch Party effort.
There’s so much wrong with the video, that it’s not even worth getting into.
While the marketing is embarrassing, the program seems like it’s gaining traction. I went to the Launch Party site and saw that they have over 10K parties planned in the US alone. I read through some of the user comments and people seem genuinely excited about this ... or maybe it’s Windows 7 that they’re excited about.
Free software and a little geek cred can go a long way.
