I'm a geeky guy and I am excited about the launch of windows 7, however would I hold a party to celebrate??? no! NO I WOULD NOT. Thats what Microseft suggest we do. Check out these cringingly awkward ads for The Windows 7 launch parties!!! lol

 How diverse are these group of friends? I guess the gay guy, asian and disabled person will be along later!

That is really sad who would do that. Yeah have a party but not about windows 7 and have everyone site around windows 7 and crowd around your PC.

OMG!!!!!!!!

Surely this is a wind up?? I simply cannot believe Microsoft employed muppets to do the advertising..... 

They may be awful but hey I get a free copy of windows ultimate. 

^^^^^^^^^^^^How

and the people in there really look serious and like think every one should do it. Isnt the point of a party to see and meet people not to crowd around a PC.

I applied for the house party thing a couple weeks ago, and got my email this week confirming me as a host.

It'll probably cost more to host the party than a copy of Windows 7...

if apple did an advert like this everyone would be drunk and playing about with the effects in photo booth

If Apple did an ad like this, everyone would be sitting around looking smug and digging the smell of their own farts.

Looks like the person shooting the first video started the party on his own before with a bottle or 10 of vino.  Keep the bloody camera still and still cutting to close ups every other second please.

Sure I've got W7 coming but won't be "having a party" to launch it.  I'll get round to it at some point to installing it on my PC.  I've been running W7 RC1 for months already so it's not like I'm gonna be blown away with it really.

 

I'm looking forward to my party...

I noticed the same thing, but it looked more like a digital effect than actual camera shake, as it seemed to repeat the same movement. Derren Brown used a similar camera trick in his publicity stunt the other week. Not sure why MS would actively add camera shake though, it hardly makes it appear professional.
