Caption Contest: ETech Ticket Giveaway
Earlier
this week we gave away a free ticket to Office 2.0 and today we have a a
free ticket to next week's ETech
to offer as a prize. ETech is O'Reilly's Emerging
Technology conference and it'll be held next week, March 26-29, in San
Diego. An important note about the prize - the Etech pass is good for sessions
only at ETech (Tuesday-Thursday). The workshops and the Executive Briefing
on Monday are not included. Also of course you need to make your own way
to San Diego and cover your accommodation. But still, the value
of the ticket is $1390.00 - so it's a great prize and thanks O'Reilly Media for
offering it to Read/WriteWeb.
I was hoping to be at ETech, but unfortunately I now can't make it. However Read/WriteWeb's Alex Iskold will be there, so if you're going to ETech and would like to meet up with Alex, send him an email at alex [dot] iskold [at] gmail [dot] com.
We picked on Google in the previous caption contest, so it's only fair we turn our attention to Microsoft this time ;-) Here is a photo from the recent Windows Vista launch in New York. I'm sure you can come up with some imaginative captions to this! Put your entries in the comments below. The winner will be picked by Friday morning PST time.

"Mom, Dad, how come I can't find my Google Toolbar?"
Steve Ballmer describes Vista's new Parental Controls panel, seconds before he was mauled by three unnamed children.
The grinch ?
See kids, we've replaced the "start" button with clapper technology - Clap on, clap off!
You are clapping manically while children point out Vista's flaws. Cancel or Allow?

Look kids, you can use your Wii to make the monkey clap.
Now where on Steve's back is that off switch.
"Want to be like Bill? Then all you need is: Puberty, Pornography, Philanthropy, Puberty, Pornography, Philanthropy...."
Keep going -- don't ever stop touching the magic revenue screen!

Another...
"Dissappointing Zune sales force Microsoft to enter the Children's toy market with USB-powered Clapping Psycho Monkey"
Disappointed members of the audience react after hearing that Vista's new security features would prevent the running of "nefarious programs such as BitTorrent."
Yes children - love Vista or I will throw you like an old office chair!
"Act calm down honey ... he won't bite as long as you don't open Google" ...
"Act calm honey ... he won't bite as long as you don't open Google ..."

The family is happy because Vista has a kid-friendly interface and cool effects. Ballmer is happy because children are DELICIOUS.

Mary wondered if she should tell the others that she had no idea what was going on.
Kids point out Vista flaws as part of Microsoft's Early Engineer Development Program
"Steve was elated, ecstatic and extremely surprised that the next generation of Microsoft users had no difficulty operating Vista."
A version of Vista for every member of the family... literally
"You navigated through Vista's new security and accessed MySpace! Good job!"
"People everywhere love Vista."

"Press it again, Timmy. The skinny one's hands will open and the fat one's hands will close."
I'm pleased to introduce RoboBallmer, now with clapping action. It's fun for the whole family!
Ok kids, who wants to reboot Mr Ballmer?!
Bill was so pleased that he had found a use for Steven within the Gates Foundation. The family had always wanted a borderline psychotic CEO of their very own to nurture and now they had a bouncy beautiful bald one.
Bill hoped they didn't have many chairs.
See, so easy to use even a child can crash it.
