Many of you may have seen that Microsoft have been attempting to encourage people to host there own Windows 7 launch party, which alone is a pretty crazy idea, but this video really takes it to the next level. I mean, really Microsoft?

I have been using the release candidate of Windows 7 on my main desktop PC and it’s a real improvement over Vista, but unfortunately it’s not enough to warrant a full blown painfully geeky forced party.

YouTube Tip

Just a quick little tip. In my spare time I more often than not find myself on YouTube checking out some videos, and today I figured I would share this handy hint for viewing YouTube content in a higher resolution.

Just find any video on YouTube, and add the following code on to the end of the URL: &fmt=18

So for example,

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hQAWYj3cq38,

would become,

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hQAWYj3cq38&fmt=18.

Simple! Ofcourse if the video was poor quality regardless then the benefits will be slim, but it sure can boost the quality on certain clips.
