Microsoft’s Windows 7 launch “party” video
No idea what to make of this. It might be ironic. It might be a joke. It’s like watching “Seinfeld” and not really knowing when you’re supposed to laugh, or if it’s a serious moral bit with sad bass guitar music.
“Hello. This Microsoft promotional film is probably supposed to be dreadful, because that way it will spread across the internet and as a result, people will buy Windows 7. However, it has to be seen to be believed” – Alex.

Seinfeld didn’t have any sad moral bits – that was one of its defining features. Even when George’s wife dies in ‘The Invitations’ it was used as the basis of a joke. You’ve never watched Seinfeld, have you?

the speccy git doesnt yet realise that his ‘activity’ will be involving the golden girl, while the black gentleman munches away safe in the knowledge that he’s going to be actively ramming jane fonda.

Is he seriously going to leave his laptop there, on the edge of a island worksurface, with glasses full of drink on either side? At the very least, he’s going to end up with houmus on the keyboard and fingermarks on the screen.
Also, when the batteries start running low due to the OS’ likely to be massive power consumption while showcasing all it’s fancy new features, where’s he going to plug it in? Stretch a power cable from the laptop on that little island across to the plug sockets by the microwave? That’s not going to be a snag hazard, likely to cause his precious vaio to go smashing onto the hard tile floor so far far below, is it…
Still, at least he’s got a sink nearby he can quickly throw it in when the batteries burst into flames.

Who is it we’re supposed to invite to these parties. Are my elderly relatives really interested in browsing fleshy websites? I suppose we could get all interactive but bukkake Could mess up the keyboard. Do you think it’s worth that to make all of the guests think you’re some kind of nut job/market a piece of shitty unnecessary software?

Let us just have a operating system release party in our kitchen with a token black man and a grandmother to disperse your fears of technology, dear viewer. It is no big deal really and as easy as cooking your favourite receipt.
