I meant to put this together weeks ago, but I guess things got in the way. Â But Windows 7 is released only once in a lifetime, so I couldn\'t just forget about it. Earlier this month \@shinyhat threw a Microsoft sanctioned Windows 7 launch party and he invited me along for the ride. Â It had all of the stuff that Microsoft sent him. Â Posters, streamers, playing cards, poker chips, a puzzle, and even a Microsoft trivia game.
It was just as Windowstastic as I could ever expect. Â From the logo colored front windows to the custom \"7\" on the wall the guy really went all out. Â We even had 7-layer dip.
It was mostly a group of Apple fans there, so we discussed failed Zune installs, Windows blue screens, and other typical Microsoft faire. Â Best Windows party ever.
Some day you can tell your kids you knew someone who went to a real Windows 7 launch party. Â Note the cameo by \@programmerman as well. Â Enjoy.
