I would like to know:

A: What is in the Party pack?

B: What is the "Signature Edition"? It's been suggested it has extra wallpapers or is signed in blood by the Mr Ballmer. Perhaps you have to also take out a pact with Satan?

here it is.

Erm so let me get this right. You get the chance to host a party? And you're given a free OS to do so. That's it? I only paid £44 for my pre-order of W7 so I'm not too bothered.

For your convenience, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 Ultimate are included in your Windows 7 Launch Party Packs.
• The 32-bit version is the Signature Edition of Windows 7 Ultimate in the black sleeve.
• The 64-bit version is included in the white sleeve.

Very jealous. I've just applied now but I'm probably too late. Fingers crossed.

me too

i have also had confirmation to host a win 7 party too

.... i might even visit my local charity shop to get me one of those amazing jumpers to celebrate.

seriously though, a signed limited edition win 7 ultimate, and some other goodies cant be bad for a nights partying.

Got my e-mail this morning, I was going to get it via the educational route but I guess this helps

Congratulations... You are a Windows 7 Launch Party host!!

Because you were among the first host finalists to set up your party online, you are confirmed as a host and will be receiving a free party package to share with your guests shortly before the party.

Packages will be posted in time to arrive before your party date. Check your free party site regularly for news on what's in your package, when it's been sent out, and when you can expect it to arrive.

Meanwhile, don't forget to use the free Guest Manager tool to manage your invite list.

Use it to send invitations via email so your guests can join your online site when they RSVP. Don't have their email address? No problem - use the print option, or just create a name-only record for them so they still appear on your party list.

And while you're online, be sure to check out and upload fun photos and videos, post comments to the national party blog, and look around for other cool features.

Please remember that information you post on the House Party website may be visible to the general public, so we advise you not to post any personally identifiable information (such as last name, address, email address or phone number). However, the information in your party invitations will only be visible to your guests.

Thank you for hosting a Windows 7 Launch Party!

so who wants to come to my hosue party? will MS really care if i have one? but for some reason i feel guilty, i have been telling everyone how good win7 is anyway

I always assumed it was a prerequisite that you would actually have people signed up to attend via e-mail before hand. However you can just stick in their names in print out labels, all my work colleagues are coming... well in spirit anyway

.

It's the least that MS can do after spending so much on their exams ..
