Tech.Ed NZ 2009 HP Mini 5101 ready for collection - and seven to giveaway

Delegate registrations and badge collection for Microsoft Tech.Ed New Zealand 2009 started today (Sunday 13th September) and people who took advantage of the discounted HP Mini 5101 offer also had the chance to collect their laptops today. We saw lots of people unpacking their laptops and enjoying the fresh, custom made Windows 7 build (click the picture for more photos on Flickr):
Microsoft's Nathan Mercer told me this is a special build - the laptops are so new he had to create an image with fresh drivers, plus a full Tech.Ed user experience. This also includes New Zealand-flavoured wallpapers and other customisations.
The laptops also come with the latest Microsoft Office 2010 CTP.
If you are not getting these laptops but still would like to have the New Zealand-based theme, it looks like this will be released for download in October when Windows 7 becomes available for consumers.
Also if you didn't take the offer, you still have a chance to leave Tech.Ed NZ 2009 with one of those: Microsoft is running a competition lasting the three days of Tech.Ed. There seven laptops to be given away, and to be in the draw you have to fill a form with answers to seven puzzles. These answers will be around Tech.Ed NZ 2009 somewhere. Entry forms are available when you collect your badge.
