With the rollout of Windows 7, Microsoft has put a tupperware-style twist on the debut. Encouraging thousands of employees, partners, and technology enthusiasts to throw parties in their homes and communities, Microsoft hopes to spread the word about their new operating system. Although there will be no literal selling of Windows 7 at these “tupperware-styled” parties, the people accepted as the official launch party hosts will get their own copy of Windows 7 Ultimate Edition! Additionally, non-Microsoft employees who host these parties will also be eligible to win a mini-notebook computer. Microsoft employees from around the world are expected to host these parties between October 8 and 12, prior to the debut of Windows 7, while members of the public who had been accepted has party hosts are expected to hold their sanctioned parties anytime between the launch of the program on October 22 and 29.

Microsoft’s plan to instigate a word-of-mouth buzz about Windows 7 shows their confidence in the stability and compatibility of the devices and software. After all, nothing would kill the party like a system crash, but Microsoft is no stranger to these issues. Similar problems plagued the January 2007 launch of Windows Vista, creating a reputation that I’m sure Microsoft is eager to put behind them.
