In a delightful nod to nostalgia, Microsoft is offering fans a unique opportunity to win a pair of Windows XP Crocs as part of its 50th anniversary sweepstakes. These limited-edition footwear pieces are adorned with the beloved Bliss wallpaper, showcasing the serene green hills and blue skies that became synonymous with the Windows XP experience. Each pair is thoughtfully designed with a drawstring back and embellished with Jibbitz featuring iconic Microsoft symbols.
How to Participate
For those eager to add these whimsical Crocs to their collection, the only route is through the sweepstakes. Unfortunately, they are not available for direct purchase, which adds an element of exclusivity to this coveted item. To enter, participants are encouraged to comment on the relevant post using the hashtag #MicrosoftCrocSweepstakes. This creative engagement not only increases your chances of winning but also connects you with fellow enthusiasts.
The Windows XP Bliss wallpaper, widely regarded as one of the most viewed images globally, has an interesting backstory. Captured in California in 1996 by photographer Charles O’Rear, Microsoft acquired the rights to this iconic image in 2000, subsequently making it the default wallpaper for the Windows XP operating system. This decision played a significant role in the product’s enduring popularity, cementing its place in tech history.
The Windows XP Crocs are just one facet of Microsoft’s broader 50th-anniversary celebrations. Launched in April, these festivities have included the release of a limited-edition Surface Laptop 7 featuring a retro Microsoft logo, the unexpected revival of the Windows Vista boot chime in preview builds, and a series of new wallpapers that pay homage to the company’s rich legacy.
