What Cruise Line is hosting Windows 7 Launch Parties?

Hi Everyone,

It was very hard to type the subject line and keep a straight face.
If you have seen the Microsoft Windows 7 Launch Party videos and their
parodies touting these launch parties then you will know what I mean

Holland America Line to Host Windows 7 Launch Parties at Sea Onboard
Digital Workshops Powered by Windows

SEATTLE, Oct. 29
As Microsoft Corp. rolls out Windows 7 worldwide, Holland America Line
joins in the fun with a month-long series of festive High Seas Launch
Parties of its own across its entire fleet. Holland America Line's
parties - the only cruise industry events scheduled - celebrate
Microsoft's new operating system, Windows 7, which powers the line's
series of complimentary onboard Digital Workshops.

"Holland America Line is excited to be a part of this far-reaching
global launch with on board parties in Europe, Asia, South America,
Central America, North America and while crossing the Atlantic," said
Richard D. Meadows, executive vice president, marketing, sales and
guest programs. "Our guests are already experiencing the benefits of
Win7 which powers the Digital Workshops offered as part of our
enrichment program."

Classes and launch parties are led by the workshop "techsperts," or
instructors, who are Microsoft-trained and are officially approved
Windows 7 launch hosts. All ships have Party Packs from Microsoft and
will be giving away Windows 7 theme posters, luggage tags and special
discounts and offers in addition to Holland America Line prizes.

Workshops are complimentary and limited to 15 participants per session
so that instructors can provide personalized assistance. In addition,
instructors maintain "techspert time," where guests can get their
individual questions answered and work on personal program-related
projects. Each ship has a dedicated space for the classes, complete
with computers, printers and other necessary equipment.

For more information on Digital Workshops powered by Windows or
Holland America Line, consult a travel agent.

320 ports in more than 100 countries, territories or dependencies.
