windows7ultimate [Expired] Win a Genuine Windows 7 Ultimate License [Comment to Win]

Update: The winner is posted here.

Side note: The winner will receive a boxed version of Windows 7, ordered from Amazon and not just a license key.

Last week, I attempted to give away Windows 7 Home Premium, but the winner has not come forward to claim their prize. I’ve tried, multiple times, to contact them and I’ve not heard back.

The good news is I still want to give Windows 7 away to a reader; this is what I’ve decided to do:

  • I could have randomly chosen another winner; however, I didn’t expect an unclaimed prize and adding a new rule to the old competition seemed wrong.
  • I’ve decided to bump the prize up to Windows 7 Ultimate!
  • The competition will run for 77 hours and end on Sunday, September 20, 2009 @ 5 P.M. EST.

 

What Do I Win?

Windows 7 Ultimate (Retail: $319.99)

The competition ends on Sunday, September 20, 2009 @ 5 P.M. EST (GMT-5.) The winner will receive their copy of Windows 7 on or around October 22, 2009. There are no geographical restrictions in this competition; all entrants are welcome.

Update: The winner is posted here.

How Do I Win?

Just comment on any post on this site (including this one.) Multiple entries are okay and will increase your chances of winning. I will not consider spammy comments for entry; however, feedback, questions, answers, thoughts, and anything else that adds to the discussion is welcome. Comments made between now and competition closing will be eligible for selection.

Competition Rules

  • You can enter this competition as many times as you like (as long as you don’t spam.)
  • There are no geographical restrictions.
  • The competition ends on Sunday, September 20, 2009 @ 5 P.M. EST (GMT-5); you will have 77 hours to claim your prize; thus, you will need to contact me by Wednesday, September 23, 2009 @ 11:59 P.M. EST (GMT -5.)
  • I will contact the winner, by private message, through the comment system’s private message feature. The winner will also be announced on this site.
  • If a winner does not come forward, a second winner will be randomly chosen.

Questions?

I’m happy to answer them below.

    doing a clean install of Windows OS

    yeah im really excited for myself, You know the guy that came to my house to sell me this web design course just made me have £ signs as my eyes thats all i could see. Turns out its secretly fishy. Wont name any names but i dispise home courses you see on the net.

    Also i followed the tutorial on Windows 7 to get icons in the middle. it ended up with mintywhite in white writing on the side. next to my windows button. looks really amazing to be fair so im leaving MintyWhite on my desktop taskbar forever :D

    Anyways thanks for reading Rich glad to see you have time for people thats what i like to see. :D

    Hi John,

    If you use Mozilla Thunderbird, you can use their free program called mozbackup. Just type it into google and you should find it.
