Windows 7 campaign - genius or WTF?

Unlike most Mac users I actually don't mind Windows too much. Yes, Vista was a pile of crap and there are much better and stable free products on the market. But I grew up with Windows and therefore have always brushed product flaws, dropped wireless networks & blue screens of death neatly under the carpet.

That was until I heard about the latest promotional campaign for Windows 7 - and your chance to host a totally informal and cool 'windows 7 party' I kid you not, apparently - www.houseparty.com/windows7

Yes on October 22nd for all those tech heads for whom an operating system is more enjoyable than a bottle of Chateau Petrus '82 and a bag of biltong, Microsoft will send you a party pack and ideas to go you mofo'ing party happening, dude.

And in case you weren't sure an operating system could make a party, well, you are like so wrong - just check out these vibes bro.

Have they lost it? Has this been handed down by the wolf Ballmer himself? Whatever you think, I have already signed us up. 22nd in your diary - its going to be a Windows 7 riot.
