Hey, just got my invitation to the local Windows XP launch party on the 30th. What the hey, two free meals, it's 2 blocks away, and my employer will cover the time there because of the 2 scheduled "technical sessions". Anyone else planning to go hang out with those wild and crazy Microsoft party animals?

Just say no to XP!

I want the Freedom to install what I want when I want without having to ask permission!

Get the picture.

I am not allowed to go to any Microsoft function as a condition of my parole, following "the incident".

And when Uncle Bill comes to town, I am not allowed in the city. (Boy some people can really hold a grudge!)

The real bugger is that MS is building a new HO, and it's just up the street from my house. So now, I have to get some lead house wrap and cover my homw with that (just to keep out the M$ bad vibes).

The therapist said if I would have sat still during the lobotomy I would be ahappy, content member of MSN now. But the way that procedure went, I don't even qualify for AOL.

I went to the show for XP and the show wasnt enjoyable as the fun I am having with the software. Dispite the few little itches with the program but the truth is it has a lot to offer. I am not hitting out on any other programs. This is realy a good package from Microsoft the team of presenters from OEM-Microsoft were great even though I got there a hour after it was started.

XP I give it a 75% rating except for the controling issues with it, that is mean.

please don't assume that means I am one of 'them' :-) I am just curious, and would not mind the free meals and all the free goodies you know they will have at the launch.

Should be a good show . . . I like comedy.

I dont play UT often, but when I do I have fun! HEAD SHOT! BLUE TEAM WINS THE MATCH!
:-)

It might be interesting to check it out but since we have no plans to deploy XP ( we have not even fully deployed 2000 ) I would probably skip it. Even if it meant a day away from the office.

hehhehheh...."head shot"

The AMD show was cool though. Free Mobo and processor :)

If only MS could figure this out correctly.........but then, if they could we'd probably enjoy paying for their products too.

I was definitely not implying that you were going. Free food is always good, and if you need some comedy relief then I guess you won't be let down.

If ol' chap BG is there, I would go, having a small chance to talk to him, asking how many copies of XP he thinks will be sold, seen the registration joke.
No, I would no throw rotten tomatoes or rotten eggs, with an exception regarding eggs: An eastern Egg.

I like playing InstaGib on the map that is a big space station. I think its called DiamondSword. ( ???? )

Sometimes I use the handle TrailerParkJawa or Magnum_IP
:-)

Overall I like Microsoft product, I wont apologize for their weaknesses, but I still dont find an OS release party of much interest.
