Taken from The Register.
Three studies published today show that young people seem to be drinking too much, smoking tobacco and using mobile phones a great deal. Obviously they can only afford to do this thanks to the fact that all their music is stolen these days.
Also, competely unrelated, they're giving Windows Vista away for free (but only in the San Francisco Bay area on Saturday October 7th & Sunday October 8th, 2006 - which suggests that the final version is nearly complete)!!
Timeslots: There are a maximum of 80 openings per timeslot each day.
9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
1:00 PM to 4:00 PM
The goals of the Install Fair are to:
Upgrade Windows XP SP2 (Home, Professional, Tablet PC and Media Center Edition) PC's or Laptops with unfamiliar applications, configurations and devices to the latest pre-release version of Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.
Acquire valuable feedback about the Windows Vista Upgrade experience from the broader community to ensure that Windows Vista will be the most rock solid release of Microsoft Windows ever.
