“MADE in China“ won Bill Gate’s top award in Microsoft’s PC Design Contest!! During Gate’s First Day Keynote in Win HEC 2007 (15May2007), Gates announced his favourite entry which he personally selected himself. The winner of the Chairman’s award, was MADE in China by John@AARIVE.
Bill Gates: “One of the most interesting, in fact the one that won the top award, called MADE in China there in the upper left, and it’s kind of a Tablet form factor, very thin and sleek, and they even let you use a pen type thing or even a chopstick type way of getting input into the machine, so quite different. And those are all in the exposition hall. I think you’ll enjoy taking a look at those.”

Congratulation, I like to have sharing of your joyfulness. We have a proverb, “Not to become dizzy with success, nor be discouraged by failure”. To keep on with the gift given to you. I wish in one day I can see more of your design while I am walking on the street. Cheers.
