Thanks to all of you who shared your feedback and ideas to help us make Windows 7 the best operating system release ever!

- Marcus, Windows Community Manager

As we enter into the final week leading up to the launch of Windows 7, I’ve been thinking about just how far PCs and Windows have come over the years.  One of the areas where we’ve seen some of the greatest leaps forward is in the area of entertainment.  Back in the 80s and 90s, who would have guessed how much of an entertainment device the PC would become?

What’s your favorite entertaining thing to do you on your Windows 7 PC?  Play games?  Chat with friends and family?  Download and play music?  Record and watch TV?  Share your stories and your how-to tips to make the entertainment experience better by checking out the Clubhouse and our most recent challenge on this very subject.

After all, we can all use a little more fun and a little less work, right?

You’ve probably heard all about the Windows 7 launch parties, and I hope many of you applied and were selected to host your very own party.  If you missed the application deadline, weren’t selected, or are just looking for another option to get some friends and family together, here is your chance.  We’ve created a special site for Windows 7 Meetups with lots of information and resources to help you bring folks together to celebrate Windows 7.

I hope you’ll take some time to check out the Meetup site to plan your event, invite guests, and host a successful gathering.
