As we are getting close to the release of windows 7 and Microsoft is encouraging parties to celebrate this (a 'feature' copied from the Firefox 3 release as far as i can tell) i thought we could all get together and form a plan to help these poor individuals drink there sorrows away. Note: I would not recommend that anyone planning to have a windows 7 'party' actually attempt (under any circumstances) to install windows 7 as a party trick as failure and humiliation will ensue. The Windows 7 drinking game rules * One shot for every “ethnic” face in an install graphic. * An extra shot if it’s pasted over the head of a white person. * One shot for every white face pasted over the head of a non-white person. * One shot for every program with the Office 2007 “ribbon” toolbar stuck on it completely inappropriately. * One shot for every exciting “new” feature that’s been in Mac OS and Linux for the past five years. * An extra shot if the exciting “new” feature’s been in Mac OS and Linux for the past ten years. * One shot every time a message about how wonderful windows 7 is (ie New and improved features etc, redesigned x, y and z). * One shot every time the word exciting is used. * One shot every time you reboot during the install. * One shot every time the system asks to reboot just because it feels like it. * Two shots every time it reboots even though you said “no.” * One shot for ever driver or software cd you need to install (ie motherboard, scanner software etc. games don't count, unless they need direct x etc) * One shot for every update that you have to install and an extra shot for every reboot required to install them. * Drain the bottle if there’s an actual feature that makes Windows 7 so much better than sticking with XP that you’ll spend actual money to get it. * A bitter mouthful every time the system blue-screens. original version stolen from notnews.today.com, additions by me. Please suggest some more (or even suggest a different order) PS drink responsibly, this game may induce alcohol blood poisoning and or death if actually attempted.
Sure, I'll drink to that If everyone would do that, they should add a discount coupon for a liver transplant with each Windows 7 copy 3 suggestions to add: * One shot for every UAC message that pops up. * One shot for each compatibility issue that you encounter. * One shot for every loan shark that comes up to your door, because MS drained your bank account again
It seems our drunken tears of joy shall be that much more bitter for users outside of the US as we don't deserve baloons :'( Microsoft pulls Windows 7 balloons from Euro 'launch parties' ? The Register
