Project 365 2011 - Photo #224

I don't know about you but I find these porcelain-looking baby dolls images kinda disturbing. They appear as one of the few desktop backgrounds from the Windows 7 Aero (Characters) theme that I set on my current work laptop. Haha.

Good things come with Microsoft

Microsoft releases the latest Mac version of the most popular productivity suite -- Office for Mac 2011 worldwide on 26 October 2010. In Malaysia, the launch is held at La Bodega Deli at Bangsar Baru. I'll write about the product in a separate post.

Update: Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 -- Compatible, Familiar, Professional

For now, let me share about some pretty good stuff that transpired during the event, apart from the live demo of Office for Mac 2011. :)

Windows 7 celebrates its 1st birthday this month, October.

Happy 1st Birthday, Windows 7!

A cute cupcake decorated with a "Happy 1st Birthday" shout-out to Windows 7.

Each attendee received a limited edition Windows 7 T-shirt from GAP as a door gift.

And I was lucky enough to be one of the lucky ones to get this Microsoft Comfort Mouse 4500 from the lucky draw. ^^

Experiencing Windows 7's desktop shuffling

Just in case you aren't aware of the newly launched Windows of Malaysia Themes for Windows 7 by Reggie Lee, here are the screen captures of the seven themes from my laptop that runs on Windows 7.

Windows 7 supports the function of displaying multiple pictures as desktop backgrounds which shuffle periodically. IMHO, this feature is very cool as I always find my desktop backgrounds in a "refreshed" state from time to time.

Interested? Download the theme pack from http://www.win7.com.my/Downloads/Themes/

Once you're done with downloading, according to my experience, this theme pack will be automatically installed as your default theme and desktop shuffling is turned on as well.

If you wish to change this setting, revert to your previous theme or create new themes deriving from this theme pack, please go to Control Panel > Personalization and proceed with changes under My Themes.

Have fun!!!

I have a "7" T-shirt

I was at IKANO during lunch hour for @win7malaysia's Windows 7 Roadshow 2 and was luckily chosen to participate in a game session. It's called the "take-turn-to-recite-1-2-3-but-change-all-number-7-related-numbers-to-Windows 7" contest. There were 3 participants. :)

And I got the Windows 7 Limited Edition T-shirt! The RED one!

Windows 7 Malaysia Movement :: Get Engaged via Contests

Are you counting down to the official launch of Windows 7? No doubt, I am! However, in the midst of counting down to that day, I find it very interesting to get engaged in and move among the crowd of Windows 7 fans / lovers as the tidal wave of Windows 7 Malaysia movement keeps us buoyant and excited with numerous FUN contests that come with BIG prizes!

The interesting thing is this. The contests are conducted via these three main channels: Windows 7 Malaysia Website, Windows 7 Malaysia Facebook Fan Page, and Windows 7 Malaysia Twitter Page. I'm online almost 24/7 and a hyperactive Twitter and Facebook user. Participating in any of the current running contests is fun, easy, and hassle-free!

Another point of observation is this. These online contests have become a ground of get-togetherness. Why would I say so? The participants, either via Facebook or Twitter, who have been strangers before, are brought together into numerous online or even offline discussions, info sharing, and network building. Such is a good way to reach out and to garner trust and mutuality amidst the online society pertaining to the brand itself, i.e. Windows 7 Malaysia.

Let's make a quick recap.

What's Windows 7 Malaysia?

I like NEW things, especially those that challenge me intellectually. So, I spent some time reading up what's so BIG DEAL about Microsoft Windows 7. I'm not a techie, definitely, and until today, geeky and complicated technical jargons and their mumbo-and-jumbo still "haunt" me... :P

My laptop is still running on Windows XP. It seems that I might have the chance to get it upgraded to Windows 7, the latest OS from Microsoft.

Okay, let me go straight to the point.
