After some major user issues with talkshoe Michael, Michael, and Andy do our much hyped Windows 7 launch party. We thank the team over at BeanTraders coffee shop for allowing us to record the show with a live group of listeners. Even though this was our Windows 7 party show, our great listener tags gave us some great 3D internet and Tech-no-tronic topics. Keep on tagging!
