Microsoft Giving Away Custom MacBook Pros

[scione]

looks crappier than regular mac lol

Microsoft just wants to spy on the Apple users via webcam.

[citation][nom]Curnel_D[/nom]Ehh, I'll pass it up, just simply because there's no way in hell a hip and trendy mac book is going to tempt me into making a twitter account.[/citation]

Ditto. Is there no other way to enter?

 

[zelannii]

It would be nicer if it was also preloaded with Win 7 Ultimate and Office 2010 Ultimate in Boot Camp, and came with a nice 8GB of RAM and an SSD, but I'll take one anyway. Of course, not gonna use twitter to sign up, so I'm looking elsewhere for entry rules...

I'd get one if it had Bill Gates' signature. But I have to be fair, THAT would be a sacrilege...

 

[JTrockin]

Isn't this one of the signs for the apocalypse?

 

[aethm]

LOL... finally! An Apple product that I would like to own!

 

[Regulas]

The paint colours are horrible. I'll take one though, repaint it charcoal black, remove the MS infestation from the hard drive and be happy.

 

[kanaric]

Why is it hard to believe? Doesn't Microsoft or Bill Gates own a good portion of apple?

 

[noneedformonkeys]

A mac that stands out from its (silver, white, black) sterile siblings? Nice.

Microsoft really is an enterprise class software company, all of the macs in my workplace (including my macbook pro) have MSoffice for mac on them, this giveaway configuration is not a shock to working professionals.

**Regulas**, just sell it for a premium instead of re-conforming it to look like the other apple sheep.

 

[mlopinto2k1]

Doesn't this violate the EUA? lol

Bootcamp Windows 7, runs MS Office, free.

Just about covers all the bases for Mac haters as they don't have to run OSX, get the benefit of quality hardware, and don't have to pay extortionate money to own it.

Shame its ugly as sin, but if Dell can get away with those multi-coloured piles of poo it has, then who am I to argue?

haha I find this quite funny. I wonder what the new "Get A Mac" commercials will say now. I believe this is the first step in an alliance to kick Google out of it's place.

I would've just lol'd at this comment three days ago...but after seeing what the Lower Merion School District in Philadelphia did to their high-schoolers...anything is possible...

I think that was the point of Bing... I like Bing, but Google has infiltrated my mind and enslaved my keystrokes to type www.google.com when I need to find out info... Not to mention the reality that it's still the fastest, most simple interface for searching.

If MS could somehow put forth a rootkit that would redirect "www.google.com" to "www.bing.com"...then we may see the fall of Google soon enough...or a serious mental breakdown for many people across the land...lol

But what they forgot to say is that Microsoft's interpretation of "Office for Mac" is "Office for Windows 7 installed on Mac hardware". Who's to say the MacBook Pros will still be running MacOS after they've been "configured" by Microsoft? ;-)
