Well it may be that everyone has to stay quiet until MS gets to make the announcement. But THEN they should come here so we can congratulate them personally.

Hopefully there will be some kind of a swag distribution, after the announcement(s).

I'm still holding out hope that they can spare a pocketwatch or puzzle box. That'd honestly be more lasting and meaningful than any of the prizes, proper.
20 years from now, it's much more likely I'd still have one of those than it is that I'd still have most any of the "real" prizes.

So you would rather have a mug then fly into space o.O?

The space flight would be an awesome experience/memory. But I never really had any hopes for it becoming a reality.
I figure several thousand people registered, several hundred made it to the finish and, without going into specifics, my chances of actually getting a trip into space were about a billion to one.

something's fishy if no one between unf and neowin can report winning.

I would venture to say that between the two camps, we at least have a statistical certainty of hitting at leasts one winner.

Apparently, the sweepstakes administrators have a history of being slow to contact winners. I wouldn't expect the "rules" to actually be held up in such a case. We'll have winners from one or both forums, I'm sure. Just not quite yet.

HEY EVERYBODY... Well I met KonaMouse and shark in vegas at the bellagio event.

I work to rocketplane Kistler the company that is playing the winners to space.

From what i know there have been two winners pic'd. one for the chip and one for the trip to space. i don't know much about them but the person who won the trip to space is from floridia. I will try to find out some more info for you guys.

Kona i was really pulling for you..... You were all over vegas really taking a leadership front running role. We had all hoped you were going to get it.

PS. I will be droping more info and some pics the winners are coming out here for a photo shoot and press release next week. If you would like anymore info on the company or want to shoot me any questions feel free....

I have talked with one of the developers on NEO about being involved in some Q&A in the skypecast with 42. I will gladly talk about anything that is not TOP SECRET Wink

if i am unable to make it to the new skypecast which is possible because I am pulled everywhere we can always set one up and I can get our pilot and NASA astronaut John Herrington in on the Skypecast as well. Let me know if that is something that may interest you all.

For those of you that were really bummed out that you didn't get a chance to win a trip to space we are doing business with another company that is giving away a trip as a prize. Check out http://www.freespaceshot.com/

The AMD front page says the winner of the meta is Audrey Murphy.

~~I don't see it, Rogi.~~

It's in the box that slowly rolls various chip pictures - middle right of screen. When it shows the Athlon 64 FX chip, it mentions Audrey. And ONLY Audrey. Links to the main VPG page.

This is just to clarify what i wrote earlier about helping relay info.

I have no part in picking the winners. Microsoft is responsible for the selection of winners. I also have no idea how many people they tried, how many times they tried, or any info on the selection process. We do not know WHO the winner is, or WHERE they are from. We don't know ANYTHING. All we know is the information we all got from the people who have come forward and said they won on the forums. I don't know any specifics. When i say I will relay information about winners I mean pictures info and names that I can get at the Official announcement on MONDAY. Thats all i can say about that because thats all microsoft will let out. I love there secrecy its sexy. W
