Win a Live Messenger Invite, Part II

By Nate Mook | Published January 13, 2006, 3:47 PM

The response to our previous post on Windows Live Messenger invitations was beyond what we could have imagined, so we've decided to offer another opportunity to join the beta. Many of you came up with excellent ideas for features in Windows Vista, but we could only choose 35.

And the winners are...

UPDATE: This thread is now closed. If your username is on the list, you should receive an e-mail in the next day or two with an invitation to join the Windows Live Messenger beta. If not, don't fret; there is now a second opportunity to join. We have an additional 30 invitations to give out, with more on the way.

All you need to do is leave a comment on this article containing your proposal for a Windows Vista marketing slogan. With the next-generation operating system set for release by the end of the year, Microsoft will launch a massive advertising campaign and could use some help coming up with a catchy slogan. For Windows XP, one such slogan was: "Surprise yourself. Surprise everyone else."

Frankly, I think my slogan is the absolute best of them all, though I'm somewhat biased. ;) It is...

Perceive It Through
Windows Vista

Note the clever punctuation (lack thereof) and line break.
Note the clever wordplay for multiple meanings: 1. Hear the words "Windows Vista" and just think about how great that OS is. 2. Invent it ... [with the assistance of WinVI]. 3. Bring your creativity to fruition (perceive it THROUGH). 4. Get all your perceiving senses tickled when you see things through the Windows Vista windows' vista. (Lotsa nice eyecandy on this new OS, to compete with Apple). 5. Note the self-definition for those not wordy enough to understand the meaning of "vista" without this slogan (probably 60% of Americans and 95% of foreign-speakers) lol

Optionally, slogan could be distributed with different punctuation targeting different audiences. Can use ":" for meaning #1, or "." for meanings #2 and #3, or leave blank for meaning #4.

I doubt Microsoft can come up with a better slogan... "Surprise yourself"? hehehehe kinda "pale" in comparison... Damn, I shouldn't be so arrogant :(

Windows vista - Take in all 360

Now what Microsoft should really be doing if the want some new slogan and are as I believe, doing this because they are too cheap to pay for some middle aged marketing gurus new BMW M5 or Hummer is to get the Beta News readers a chance to submit a Tune for their advertising campaign. Something like a Techno or Rap version of the windows startup sound ( Sure to annoy the crap out of every tv viewer and radio listener )

As an incentive they could supply a few xbox 360's to get people really inventive. Stuff paying for marketing just get some bored lifeless computer nerds to do the work for them.

After reviewing the winners of the previous contest, Microsoft would be well-served [and even a fool not] to incorporate many, if not all, of [at least] the winning entries. Good efforts and ideas, guys/gals. I am clearly in the company of some very bright and thoughtful people.

(And on an aside, while reviewing the previous contest's winners I discovered a feature of Maxthon that Bloodchen, its creator, has not documented. That is, activating/using Control-F in an active tab concurrently searches across all inactive tabs! One needs only to switch tabs to see the results in inactive tabs of that one active-tab search. Now that's true efficiency. Cool. Thanks, Bloodchen.)
