Host A Windows 7 Launch Party And Get Windows 7 Ultimate For Free
Users who are interested in hosting a Windows 7 launch party can apply at Microsoft's House Party website.
In order for you to be considered in the host selection process, you need to fill out the online application (which asks you questions about your knowledge of the sponsor brand, how you typically throw parties, whether you are an internet user and have a digital camera, etc). After completing the application, you will need to respond to the confirmation email by clicking on the link within it (to make sure our means of communicating with you works). From the group of applicants who confirm their email address and complete the application, we choose a pool of hosts who fit House Party's and the sponsor's host criteria.
A signup is required to the House Party service. This can be done by filling out the information manually or using an existing Facebook account to fill out most information. A short survey has then to be filled out afterwards. Microsoft has plans to host more than 1000 house parties which means that the chance is probably not that good to be selected as one of the hosts as there is no way to individualize the application.
Party hosts that are selected by Microsoft will not only receive a special signature edition of Windows 7 Ultimate edition but also a party pack for the party. Follow this link to the House Party website to apply to be one of the party hosts for the Windows 7 launch party.

This is what you’ll have to accept in order to apply to these stupid house parties
Translation: There’s a chance that your party, and you included, will be part of a Microsoft ad for which you shall receive no compensation beyond a free copy of 7.
Social networking sites have the same sort of crazy TOS terms, but eh, not worth the potential hassle.
There’s no party in Peru :-(
None in New Zealand either, mate – looks like our markets are too small for Microsoft to be bothered with – WTF?
