CNN IBN - Appear on TV

LHM

Dear Folks - would you know of a glamorous, fun couple that would like to appear on TV? They'll get to use a free version of the Windows 7 OS and a free smartphone with Windows 6.5 for almost two months. And they'll tell the rest of the nation how much they like/dislike different aspects of the product - user interface, usability, gaming friendliness etc. I'm told they are to be the first families in the WORLD - to try out these new software - that must count for something, no?

Our TV crews will visit the families a couple of times over these two months. We'll try and understand how the new software affects their lives. Does it speed their work up - so they have more free time? Is it better looking and easier to use? Is it easier for the grandparents to understand and use the computer with the new stuff installed? Is gaming on the PC more fun now? Things like that.

Microsoft engineers will come and install the new software. The PC's should ideally have 1 GB of RAM (2 GB would be ideal though). Their old files will be backed up and stored safely. After two months - if they wish they can delete Windows 7 and go back to their original software if they so wish. (Though it's unlikely!). We're planning to do individual stories with about seven families in all. At the end of the experiment - we hope to combine all the stories into one half hour show to play on the channel. There is also talk of inviting the families to the formal launch of the software in India - when they might share the dias with Microsoft top honchos.

I'm looking for families, with or without grown up kids - in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkatta, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Trivandrum. Would you be interested in the offer? Else, could you kindly request your friends to send me a few snaps of the family, along with their phone numbers, to jaithemon@gmail.com. I have to close the list by the end of this week. Greatly appreciate your help. Jaimon Joseph. PH: 09899692342.
