As you may know, a lot of people competed, but only a few won. Nicely done! Please also keep in mind that your prize is not just a stupid, geeky gift, but it's also a symbol to represent your contributions to the development community. When folks ask you how you won, you can tell them that it was by helping out other geeks. Be proud and brag ......
I am testing Windows 7 Beta since almost 6 weeks now. Granted, I was not a fan of Vista since it was to slow and the file explorer was a mess. Windows 7, still a beta version with debug code, is so refreshing fast, offers a better file handling and the processing times for almost everything are amazing fast. IE8 is doing very well and highly compatible! I am looking so forward to the final version. Great Job Microsoft Teams!
