Forget about the Windows 7 Launch Parties and focus on something that you can do right this moment: take a Windows 7 Personality Quiz. The Hong Kong subsidiary of Microsoft posted a 13 questions long online quiz that will let you “Discover your cyber world personality!” and will allow you to “learn more than you expect”.

I don’t really know how much I will really learn about Windows 7 by taking the quiz. You are more likely to learn something about the operating system by clicking "Skip quiz. View product features" rather than taking it. I will admit though that taking the test is quite fun. Here are the questions you will be asked and the answer variants.
