Vista Ship Gifts

  • Article

Our ship gifts for Vista came the other day.  We got a fleece pullover and the final DVD for our DVD cube.

Fully updated, the cube is a collection of 4 DVDs, containing the bits for Vista Beta1, Vista Beta2, Vista RC1, and Vista RTM.

There's also a booklet: 

If you can't read the text, it says "You are holding 3.5 Gigabytes of passion, dedication, and pure geek goodness"  "RTM NOVEMBER 8th 2006"

 

Within is a timeline of pictures of computers running Win 1.0, Win 3.1, Win95, and Windows XP with the text "time to make history..."

And then, the best part (IMHO).  A picture of Vista and the text "Handcrafted by:"

 

Of course, I'm there:

Btw, I'm using a coaster we were given when Microsoft moved into it's current campus 20 years ago as a paperweight.  I somehow thought it was appropriate.

 

At the back is a bunch of pictures of the ship party and the text: "Wow.  What an incredible journey.  Thank you."

  

Very cool.
