To help launch their new version of Windows, Microsoft has invited fanboys of the operating system to host Tupperware-style house parties. The atrocious YouTube video above, with its token black guy and acting so bad it makes you wonder, is it a joke?, is being mocked far and wide by techies and non-techies alike.

What many of the detractors have failed to realize is that Microsoft is giving away free stuff to people who agree to host Windows 7 launch parties and all the slots are full. From here it look like Microsoft achieved exactly what they set out to do.
