I'm not entirely sure what qualified me for this but I received it today. Here's a cut from the e-mail. -- Dear Eric Hammersley, Thank you for being a great contributor to Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. You have been nominated to receive the Award for Customer Excellence. This award recognizes your extraordinary contribution to the Visual Studio 2005 product and will be shipped to you without charge. -- I don't know, perhaps everyone got one of these. All I know is that I never win anything. ;-) Thanks...
