In a groundbreaking announcement, Microsoft unveiled plans for a set of Crocs themed around the iconic Windows XP design. At present, these unique shoes are exclusive to Microsoft staff; however, according to The Verge, they’re expected to become globally accessible for purchase in the future.
These Crocs showcase the well-known Bliss wallpaper from Windows XP, with its cloudy blue sky and verdant green meadows. At a glance, it’s evident that you’re sporting a stylish pair of Windows XP-inspired Crocs. You might even catch people inquiring about where you got your cool Crocs!
Along with the Crocs, there’s an included drawstring pouch adorned with the Windows XP Bliss wallpaper. Inside this pouch, you’ll discover six Jibbitz accessories, designed around various Microsoft products such as Internet Explorer, Clippy, and MSN. This is a delightful blast from the past, reminiscent of 2001.
If you’re not familiar with Crocs shoes, Jibbitz are accessories that let you personalize and enhance their appearance. These Jibbitz connect through the distinctive holes present in every pair of Crocs, no matter where they’re sold.
For approximately $80, you could have this item – priced higher than typical Crocs, yet seemingly worth the extra cost. I’m eagerly planning to purchase a pair once I get the chance.
This week, we received the 50th anniversary special edition of the Surface Laptop 7 from Microsoft, which is part of their ongoing celebrations marking their 50 years in existence. This limited-edition laptop has been designed especially to commemorate Microsoft’s long history.
The 50th Surface Laptop 7 sports an exclusive gold trim on its cover and a vintage ’75 Microsoft logo positioned beneath the keyboard. What sets this laptop apart is that it wasn’t commercially sold; instead, Microsoft distributed it through competitions, with the exception of its employees who had the option to purchase it.
The well-known Bliss wallpaper from Windows XP has a unique history and eventually found its place in Microsoft’s 50th anniversary festivities. This photograph, now among the most widely viewed images globally, was actually captured by Charles O’Rear in Sonoma County back in 1998. Microsoft acquired the rights to this stunning image in the year 2000.
The location from which the photo was snapped has changed dramatically from the tranquil meadow portrayed in the Windows XP desktop background. Today, it stands as a vineyard. Regardless of this transformation, it’s doubtful Microsoft will release a more memorable wallpaper than the one originally included with Windows XP.
