Microsoft Malta sponsored the President’s Bike Ride in aid of L-Istrina 2012, which was held last Sunday.The event coincided with the launch of Windows 8 in Malta.
Over 500 cyclists wearing Windows 8 T-shirts met inside San Anton Palace’s courtyard in Attard, where they were greeted by President George Abela, who thanked them for their participation and support. The President also snapped photos of cyclists using a Microsoft tablet as the group left the Palace on their way to Valletta.
“We were delighted to have had the opportunity to associate ourselves with this annual charity event, particularly as sponsors with our newly-launched Windows 8,” said Louise Mifsud, marketing manager for Microsoft Malta, who also presented Dr Abela with a Windows 8 Pro licence.
“We wanted to be part of L-Istrina – where everyone plays a little part,” added Angela Micallef, community affairs manager at Microsoft Malta.
