			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Marketing in Microsoft has always been a strong area (I think it is the main reason that Microsoft is Microsoft today) and they do not hesitate to go a little further every time. This time: Presenting Windows 7 Steve Ballmer’s Edition.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://crenk.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/w7box02.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-6003 aligncenter" title="w7box02" src="http://crenk.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/w7box02.png" alt="w7box02" width="470" height="351" /></a></p>
<p>Well it is not exactly what you may think; it does not have special “Ballmer features”, or using only desktop backgrounds with Microsoft’s CEO. But what it does have is a special box edition with Ballmer’s signature.</p>
<p>The lucky ones that will receive this package are those that are throwing a Windows 7 party (we’ve <a href="http://crenk.com/organize-a-launch-party-and-get-a-windows-7-for-free/">discussed this earlier</a>). But here’s an <a href="http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2009/10/irate-reader-gets-free-windows-7-after-complaint-to-ballmer.ars">interesting story published by ArsTechnica</a>: A very enthusiast Windows user sent an e-mail to Microsoft complaining that even though he completed the registration to Windows 7 party, no Caribbean countries were eligible to use it. So the company in response, sent the Windows 7 with Ballmer&#8217;s signature and the Windows 7 Party Kit.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Original story in <a href="http://www.stuffiwrote.co.uk/2009/09/29/windows-7-party-pack-unboxed/">sutffiwrote</a></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://crenk.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/w7box01.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6002 aligncenter" title="w7box01" src="http://crenk.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/w7box01-577x432.jpg" alt="w7box01" width="493" height="369" /></a></p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that once this story hit public, a million complains were received from Microsoft. But still, sounds good to me that the company is trying to reward those enthusiast that are trying to help Windows 7 marketing, even though they participate in a contest or not.
