Potentially the Worst Microsoft Marketing Idea Ever.

You too can throw a Microsoft Launch Party.  Unless you live in the US where they have already met their quota.  Presumably with a mix of Microsoft employees and people that signed up ironically.  If you haven't seen the instructional video with its politically correct mixing of presenters look no further.
