Thread: Microsoft Letting Custom MacBook Pros

While the Windows-using world is gearing up for the launch of Office 2010 this summer, Mac users will have to suspend on for one more year before getting their own fresh office suite in 2011. But it shows that Microsoft needs to show the Mac-using community that it still loves them and is giving away two custom-colored 2.53GHz MacBook Pro laptops.

The MacBook Pros will arrive with a custom paintjob in one of the colors of the software icons (blue, purple, orange or green). Obviously, every winning laptop will also arrive with a copy of Office 2008 for Mac.As information on the official webpage for the contest, admission are received via Twitter next or retweeting @officeformac. The contest is release to all in USA and Canada (except Quebec).



While somebody may cry sacrilege at Microsoft for giving away an Apple product, there is a few amusement value of a repainted MacBook Pro bearing a Microsoft Office logo right over the glowing Apple.
