Microsoft India has announced a Windows 7 promotion for channel partners and users across India. The promotion, valid from March 22, 2010 to May 22, 2010, provides opportunities to win prizes every day as well as a trip to Thailand, plasma TVs and Chevrolet Beat Car with buy of every original Windows 7 PC.

The contest is available on the sale and buy of each original Windows 7 computer across the country. All partners need to do is sell original Windows 7 based computers from their store and make sure customers take part in the promo before leaving the store.

The customer has to SMS the COA (Certificate of Authenticity) number on his PC to 58888. He will then get an instant replay on his registration and will need to enter a slogan within 10 words starting with “I get lifetime security with original Windows 7 because…” to 58888, to be a part of the winner pool.

Microsoft’s experts’ team will calculate entries daily and pick the winners. If a channel partner’s customer wins, he will be entitled to a prize also.

Rajiv Popli, Director, Windows Client, user and Online Business, Microsoft India, said, “We are seeing record sales for Windows 7 in India. It is our most successful Operating System ever. The promotion should help build on this energy by driving excitement in the partners and have them promote original Windows 7. Microsoft makes a very compelling case for adoption of genuine Windows by one and all and promotion should drive positive action.”
