Microsoft exposed for sale a new ugly sweater in the classic style of MSPaint. The $ 69.99 sweater depicts the MSPaint image editor tools that users have been using for a long time with pictures and photos. A corresponding proposal appeared on the company’s website.
Its representatives clarified that the company will transfer $ 20 for each sweater sold between December 1 and December 23 to the account of the non-profit organization GirlsWhoCode, which is trying to narrow the gender gap in the IT sphere. For example, the organization runs free summer programming courses and other educational activities for women. Microsoft expects to donate at least $ 50,000 to GirlsWhoCode.
All three types of sweaters were available for purchase: the previously mentioned MS Paint, as well as the remaining copies of Windows95 and XP – for $ 69.99 each. But all of them were sold out in a matter of hours, so at the moment it is impossible to order an original sweater.
By the way, the company used to make sweaters in the Windows95 and WindowsXP style, but then they were given to employees and journalists. Now they have decided to put them on sale.
