‘perhaps Microsoft could have provided just one or two extra copies of the software, for the host to give away as prizes or favours’

As booby prizes, you presumably mean?

@stokegabriel Er, what exactly did you expect at a Windows 7 party? A Hillbilly Hoedown theme?

I hope Microsoft have booked at least a year’s worth of full page ads in PCPRO after that great effort!

Independent Journalist?

“Happily, where Redmond had let us down, my girlfriend and guests stepped in, bringing the event to life with balloon clusters in Windows colours, Windows-themed cakes and an unforgettable Windows pizza”

CHOKE!

I don’t think a few “free copies” was ever likely, was it? If MS had been giving away what, in effect, would have been three for the price of one everyone would have just signed up for the party-pack and then kept the software for themselves. Basically, it would be a cheap-skate version of the 3-license family pack.

Don’t MS even send a Apple shaped bin to empty the debris into?
