Windows Live Messenger Messenger Bag

Did anyone else, besides me get a Messenger bag from Microsoft?

 

Uh... no. What is it?

Last think I got directly from Microsoft was a copy of Office 2000 Premium, a tee-shirt, and a canvas carry bag, back when they first released it, by answering a question correctly on a radio computer call-in show. Still using Office 2K, never wear the tee-shirt or use the bag.

 

I got this from beta testing windows live messenger.

Well that's pretty neat, I like it.

That's a lot nicer bag than I got, but bags have improved in the last 7 years.

 

Hah, cheeky. I beta tested that software, too. I even reported some bugs - no bag for me though!

I recently attended a training course for HP and got a free 512MB usb drive - we're supposed to use them for demoing the laptop that we're selling. It's a pretty nice laptop actually. Wouldn't mind one myself! Naturally I'm going to be using a couple of graphics demos from the demoscene to show off the intergrated graphics. Much more impressive than scrolling around The Movies I'm sure.

I also get a couple of HP polo shirts and a silly marketing badge.

EDIT: Found one of the adverts for this campain on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc5tOZ2U7Yo
bloody nice video work - I admire whoever came up with that and I admire even more the people that made it work!

 

Very well done commercial Goldy.

And YouTube has gotten HUGE. They've got an unbelievable amount of content, lots of it way cool.

 

Yes, it has! Unfortunately lots of content means a fair chunk of crap too

This, however, is not:

Found it while looking for things to do with this campain, heh, funny what people do with demo models
