An invitation to a preview of Windows 7

Darragh · 24-09-2009 09:52AM #1

Hey folks,

We've been in touch with the folks over at Microsoft and they would like to invite you to a preview of Windows 7 before its launch on October 22.

They are holding a informal briefing to talk through Windows 7’s features and to discuss the consumer campaign to support its launch. Hands-on trials of Windows 7 will be available on the night.

There will also be a draw for a Netbook for one lucky person.

Food and drink will be provided on the night.

The event will take place in Edelman’s offices on Thursday October 1 between 7 and 9pm.

Their address is 5th Floor Huguenot House, 35 – 38 St Stephen’s Green, Dublin 2. Huguenot House is situated beside the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin city centre. A map is available on their website and below:

If you're available to go, just leave your name below.

Cheers

Darragh

lucernarian · 27-09-2009 02:17PM

I saw this on the MS Ireland website, didn't know boards peeps had a hand in it.

I'd like to head to that. After vista, I want to make sure I get to see what it's about before using it. I don't want any nasty suprises if I decide to buy it.

jahalpin · 27-09-2009 09:50PM

Hi, I'd be interested in going

My name is John Halpin

shooterMac · 28-09-2009 09:27AM

Add me in mate!

Whats this about no free copy of windows 7?
I just read the official documentation and they WILL be giving out a free copy on Oct 15. Don't know if that's a trial copy or not, they just said

"...and did I mention, you will receive a free copy of Windows 7 Ultimate Edition at the event?"

Darragh · 28-09-2009 04:47PM

Brilliant, thanks for all the replies folks! Anyone else?

Darragh

Gaspode · 28-09-2009 09:41PM

My one caveat is that I may have to work late on thursday and wont really know until that afternoon.

Thanks

Btw, can I bring a friend? I'm guessing probably ok, but just in case?
