Just before the launch of Windows 7, Microsoft and House Party did an event that you would launch a party with people and get Windows 7 for free.

Do you want a Windows 8 House Party?

Suggest 2 parties - one in each time zone.
First in the mid Pacific then zap off to Florida.

I would suggest one party midway between so north could meet south.

Sure you can have it at a tropical island. It's where ever you want it. House Party usually takes place at your home, but you can do it anywhere, and with as many people as you want. With House Party, everything is done on your own (except for some supplies, which are sent to you).
