Microsoft Celebrates 50th Anniversary With Windows XP Crocs Giveaway

Microsoft celebrates its 50th anniversary with a unique giveaway. The tech giant is offering a pair of Windows XP-inspired Crocs, featuring the iconic Bliss wallpaper, as part of its anniversary sweepstakes.

The Bliss wallpaper, showing green rolling hills and a blue sky, has been a beloved feature of Windows XP since its release in 2000. Microsoft acquired the rights to use the photograph in 2000, making it the default wallpaper for the operating system. Now, it adorns a special pair of Crocs, giving fans a chance to own a piece of Windows XP history.

To enter the sweepstakes, participants need to follow Microsoft on Instagram and comment on the giveaway post with the hashtag #MicrosoftCrocSweepstakes. However, the giveaway is only open to residents of countries where the Microsoft Anniversary Giveaway is officially available, and availability is limited.

The Windows XP Crocs are a fun and nostalgic way to celebrate Microsoft's 50th anniversary. While the giveaway is limited to certain countries, it's a unique opportunity for fans to own a piece of Windows XP history.
