Jeff Dossett, Executive Producer and General Manager at MSN, is doing something amazing. He, and two other elite mountaineers, are heading up to the summit of Mt. Everest build awareness of (PRODUCT) RED and to inspire individuals to do amazing things. Windows is an Official Sponsor of this expedition along with Dell, MSN, MSNBC.com and several supporting partners.

A Windows Live Space has been set up called Everest Team INSPI(RED) for you to show your support for their endeavor and to follow their journey with blog posts, photos and videos. You will also be able to sign the guestbook and share your personal inspirations.

The (PRODUCT) RED Theme Pack is also available where you can download Windows Live Hotmail Signatures as well as Emoticons and Winks for Windows Live Messenger. You'll find the links to the downloads on the right sidebar of the Everest Team INSPI(RED) Windows Live Space under "Show your support!". And a desktop gadget is available for Windows Sidebar in Windows Vista to track the elevation of the expedition on their way up Mt. Everest.

As of yesterday - the team is at 16,000 feet! Hopefully their amazing journey will inspire
