To celebrate the launch of Windows 7 on Thursday 22 October, Microsoft has launched a nationwide search for Ireland’s biggest inner geek.
The competition has been launched to recognise the role that ordinary people in in developing the new operating system.
Thousands of people from across the globe and Ireland gave feedback to Microsoft on the features they would like to see included in Windows 7 and were involved in testing the new operating system. Some of the features incorporated as a result of this feedback include having to make less clicks, the ability to watch TV on a PC, parental controls and less popup interruptions.
The public is free to nominate the person they believe merits the title of Ireland’s biggest inner geek; it can be a friend, family member, neighbour or even themselves.
Nominations close at 6pm on Wednesday 14 October. A panel of judges will select the winner and the prize will be awarded at a party being held in Dublin on 21 of October to mark the launch of Windows 7 in Ireland. The panel of judges includes Darragh Doyle, community manager for Boards.ie and 2fm DJ Rick O’Shea.
The winner will receive a home entertainment package including a copy of Windows 7, a laptop, an Xbox 360 Elite, Xbox LIVE subscription, a selection of video games and a mobile phone. Everyone nominated, and those who nominate them, will be entered into a draw to attend the launch party in the Temple Bar Music Centre on Wednesday 21 October.
