Microsoft has drawn sniggers across the industry with its "Windows 7 launch party" plans but this really takes the biscuit. A video guide showing four "ordinary" consumers chatting over how they made their launch parties a success ("after my overview, I went straight to an activity!") it left us speechless, no gobsmacked. Hit play now to see the awfulness in full, and remember if you are hosting such a shebang - it's not as daunting as you might think - "you're just throwing a party with Windows 7 as an honoured guest"...

  • OMG unbelievable in its awfulness, "make sure you check out the notes about the bonus events because you want to make sure you have the right devices at hand?"

    I'm afraid that I am losing the will to watch this, a major impediment being how the blonde woman tries to talk about what she did at her party, and why is having people crowd around her computer in the kitchen funny?

    I got to 2:27 before calling it a day. Can take any more of these american phoneys! They have to be fake, Americans don't talk like that do they?
