Right while browsing around today i have been many many sites giving away “$6000 of HP hardware and windows licenses.” This is great but how and why?
How?
In the middle of “The credit crunch” and huge companies are getting rid of hardware? Faulty? discontinued? Nope! Simply this is just Christmas sprit and as for what they are giving away, its the latest hardware and versions of Windows! You’ll see why they are doing this in a minute. The gifts will given away after the blogs involved have reviewed them and featured on their website.
Why?
With all this talk about Windows 7 after the massive PDC event this year HP are very big partners with Microsoft. The new touch technology in Windows 7 works with some of the hardware being given away. Be sure to see someone reviews when someone loads windows 7 6801+ onto it. HP are simply looking for a spotlight on some of the showcase of their hardware, they are ahead of everyone else and already developing things many companies dont even support. The market is pushed everyday by HP and this is a point to be focused on.
What do you have to do?
The criteria varies from blog to blog for winning these prizes. So please go and check all the sites to see how they will run them.
