#WinWin7 Twitter Contest Rolls On

Since the first tweet went out on the #WinWin7 Twitter Contest, the Windows Outreach Team on Microsoft’s official Windows Twitter account @MSWindows has been busy giving away some great (and somewhat goofy) prizes to their followers. The best part, through, is that I hear that things are just heating up.

Here’s a recap of what they’ve given away in the #WinWin7 promotion so far:

There’s more to come and the prizes are only getting better (and somewhat goofier).

Starting today, they are making a push for 77,777 followers by Windows 7 GA (October 22nd). Starting at 42,777 followers, they will give out a copy of Windows 7 to one of their lucky followers. Starting there, they will continue to give away a copy of Windows 7 for every 2,000 followers (so, at 44,777 then 46,777 and on and on). For those good at math, the more people we get to join, the more chances you (as a follower) have of winning a copy of Windows 7. All followers of @MSWindows are eligible, so those who have been loyal followers since the beginning are still in the running. Winners will receive their copy of Windows 7 they won after the Oct. 22 launch date.

When the magical number of 77,777 is reached, the Windows Outreach Team has some great (and super-secret) prizes to hand out. If you’re not following @MSWindows on Twitter already, you should consider doing so as things look like they will get pretty interesting ;-)

    Well I'm a Twitter noobie, but I still managed to become a follower so that's cool that some prizes are being given away.  Im guessing the next gift will be something like 7 x 1GB USB thumbdrives or a 7 megapixel digital camera if the pattern holds.

    Its amazing actually how Twitter has managed to become so big, I guess thats what happens when people start using mobile devices and someone innovates with that market in mind.  I don't think I'll ever fully understand Twitter as the mobile/cellular revolution is so my younger sisters generation and not mine.

    Speaking of innovation I am excited to see what new gadgets hit the market in the next year, Apples touch screen ipod thing looks interesting as does Microsoft's Courier Tablet.

    Who knows what final form either device will take by the time they hit the market?

    The Courier is definitely has some out of the box thinking, kinda like a cross between an a Nintendo DS, ipod touch and tablet PC, hopefully it can be used in the ways that these devices are today plus more.

    Imagine turning it sideways having a powerpoint presentation being shared on the top half and people interacting on the bottom half through IM?  Lots of possibilities in business, school and entertainment.

    Only time will tell, if it will succeed, lets hope the software on it delivers and it will make it to market in some form.

    It looks like it would be great for students, my wife is studying to become a nurse and she likes the look of the courier... it would be nice to get textbooks on there her textbooks are heavy, and she loves touch screen apps... shes even stated playing videogames recently, just because the touch screen is so intuitive!

    Actually the Jigsaw from the Windows 7 House Party kits look really great:

    They would look great as MouseMats to, and would be a cool prize.
