The MS giftLet's say that you have nothing but praises for the Windows Vista, you're blogging about it every chance you get and talking non-stop about how great it's gonna be with anybody who seems interested. You've spread the word so much that the MS people sent you a gift in the form of an Acer Ferrari 1000, with Windows Vista Ultimate already installed. What do you do?

This happened to Laughing Squid's Scott Beale. According to him, he's been blogging about MS quite a bit lately and last December 20, he received an email from the PR firm in charge of Vista's launch. The mail said that he'll be receiving a gift from Microsoft. And yes, the Acer Ferrari 1000 with Windows Vista Ultimate, was the present. What did Mr. Beale do with it? He auctioned it off on eBay. Clever idea? Yes. Is it for a good cause? Yup.

The proceeds from the auction is going to a non-profit organization who's a staunch defender of online rights and freedom, The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). The auction will be held until January 4 and if you're interested, you could check out the read link below. 

Expect me to be blogging more about the Vista in the coming weeks, nah just kidding.
