Microsoft to celebrate worldwide Vista and Office 2007 release |
Ó
By the eve of January 29, 2007, Microsoft, along with retail partners and FOXSports.com, will host red-carpet events for sports fans and excited customers. The events will feature DJs and pro football appearances. The program will also include a whole day affair the next day, January 30, to commemorate the release of the consumer editions of the Vista platform and Office 2007. The line up includes hourly hardware and software giveaways including XBox 360 giveaways from 4 to 7 p.m. local time. And guess what? Participants need not be present to win. There will be Microsoft experts in the stores to provide a hands-on demonstration of the products being released, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Also, customers can sign up their local K-12 schools for a computer lab makeover worth 25,000 big ones... err, US$ 25,000.
