Microsoft Internet Cafe Pabuenas

I just found out now about the Microsoft Philippines Café Pabuenas. I believe it hasn’t been publicized in the news.

The offer:

For every Ten (10) Windows XP or Two (2) Microsoft Office or Ten (10) CAL licenses purchased from an authorized reseller from September 9 to November 30, 2005, an Internet Café gets one raffle coupon and a chance to win an iCafe Pabuenas showcase!

What does it include?

* 5 PCs (Intel Pentium 4, 19″ Monitor, complete with speakers, webcam, microphone)
* 1 Hub
* 1 year subscription of DSL (estimate at PhP6,000/month)
* 1 neon panaflex signage of iCafe and Microsoft
* Store Stickers that say “This Internet Café uses Genuine Microsoft Software”
* Windows Genuine Stickers for the PCs
* Photo Oppty / Press Release

I think the signage should be for all LAN shops who purchase licenses, just like the now-common PLDT DSL signs you see on the street.
