Well, here is your chance to make Malaysia Proud, well, or rather, here is your chance to earn some good cash. USD $125,000 in prize for the best future Win OS design. Get your creative juice cracking…
When?
Closing date of submission is Oct 3, 2005 5pm PST. Plenty of time to meditate in the mountains and get inspired for your most creative design.
Winners will be announced on Jan 2006. This is certainly a long time to wait, hope I remember to see who and which design wins…
Who?
The judges are from Dell, Nike, Gillette, HP, Bose, HK Polytech Uni and Astro. Not our Astro, but ASTRO Studios from San Francisco.
What?
The challenge is not only to design a stunning Windows, but also cool functionality that are sustainable and ecological and environmental innovation. Hymmm… which part of a software is ecological and environmental innovative?, maybe they meant software ecology & environment..
Motivation
The prizes:
Judge’s Award – USD $50, 000
Chairman’s Award – USD $50, 000
Public’s Choice Award – USD $25, 000
Hymmm… why is the public’s choice award so few in dollars? Aren’t the public the consumers?, who will eventually make contributions to Microsoft? Maybe they don’t trust the public too much?..
categories
Personal productivity
Entertainment
Communication & Mobility
Living and Lifestyle
Interesting categories, I guess this is the future of PC, and these will be the market segments that will shape the future of PC usage. We have seen that the PC has start to creep into the Entertainment sector with the Media PC promoted by Microsoft and Intel. The PC replacing all the components below the TV, all the amp, CD’s and videos all in one box. The future is truly exciting…
Chee Aun, and all Malaysian designers.. Give it a shot.. Who knows, you may win and get a “grandfather” title along with it…
