Microsoft (!) Rolls Out H1N1 Awareness and Info Site


With barely a few weeks before the official launch of Windows 7, one would think that all efforts of the company would be geared toward that event. Instead, some of that energy is being directed toward… H1N1 (”Swine”) Flu education.

Actually, I kinda like that.

Normally I would leave the H1N1 reporting and info to the News department and editorial staff here at AkronNewsNow, but hey- it’s encroached on my turf; and considering tht we’ve been giving a fair amount of space to H1N1 reporting, I thought I’d throw this into the mix.

The Microsoft H1N1 site (visit it here) is an informational site run off of Microsofts newer CloudApp services and aims to educate the public on genereal H1N1 information, a self-assessment tool, tips on what to do if you have (or think you have) the virus, and a survey system to get Epidemiological data to Emory Univeristy, where it derives it’s medical information (so No, your health and wellbeing are not being managed by the old Windows ME development team because they were not allowed to do anything else within the company).
Hat tip to Fark, of all places.
