  • I am having one too!!!!

    I think the signing up process is done now however as the numbers where limited and the closing date was supposed to be last Thursday.

    I am looking forward to my Signiture Edition of Win 7 Ultimate which is worth up to £190 of your hard earned pennies.

    Might have to borrow another PC from work so I can get a 3 machines up and running. One on the TV being a Media Centre, one set up as an Office Machine and one as a Skype\IM\Webcam Stylee.

    What are you doing?

  • Yes I got the I have been selected email, did you fill in the details on the set and invite 9 people?

    I have invited 9 people but its not going to be a big thing just try a get a faminly and friends to pop in throughout he day. We are having a baby in December so people can come and see the nursery etc too.

    Just plan to have the three machines set up as above so people can try it out in its different guises.

    I have been using Win7 since the launch of the Beta and love it, I only have it on one machine at the moment but am lucky that I am an IT engineer so have access to many PCs.

  • signed up and will wait with bated breath.

    Good luck, I had a feeling that they had not had enough sign ups when the moved the decision from last Thursday to Friday and then to Tuesday (Today), but then they blew my theory by contacting people yesterday (Monday).

    As I said though worth a try for the Win 7 Ultimate, it will probably be signed by someone from Microsoft, probably Steve Bulmer as Bill gates signed the Vista Sig Editions.

    lol, got one of these but honestly don't now enough tech fanatics so didn't sign up as I would go to a W7 launch but think that most people I know would just give me an odd look !

    I have been taklking about W7 to people and have posted quite a few comments on sites but I just can't bring myslef to try and invite non tech nuts to a W7 party :)

    I signed up when the first newsletter came out about it and got confirmation I'd been selected yesterday. True moneysaving for me as I had two pre-orders of windows 7 home premium with amazon and should be able to cancel one of them now

    One person on the party forum isn't cancelling their preorder and planning to give it to a guest. I'm not that generous :D
  • thanks op just signed up to see if i can host one, love techie stuff and party so would be loads of fun.

    Thanks again
    :D:D:D:D:D
