Happy Father’s Day from Windows!



June 17th is right around the corner and we wanted to take a moment to wish all the dads out there a happy Father’s Day!

Last year, I wrote about my Dad on Father’s Day. He’s awesome and always up for adventure! We recently went to Ireland and even though I’m all grown up now, we still have a great time together. We toured the beautiful country, reminisced about childhood stories and created a ton of new memories.

Of course, the first thing I did was upload our photos to SkyDrive to share with the rest of the family!

While we were there, we also spent some time talking tech (how could I not?) and in all that chatter, I realized a few things. Most of my parents’ friends think a desktop PC comes with a tower and sits in a room in their home office! They have never used a touch screen and aren’t familiar with wireless mice. When I showed my dad my Arc Touch Mouse, he commented that he desperately needs a new ergonomic mouse for his ache-y wrists. With Father’s Day coming, I thought other dads might also be on the lookout for some new gear. So I’ve compiled a list of Windows-approved and dad-desired gifts to consider for your Dad this Father’s Day!
