I won in the first round and got my copy on Monday or Tuesday of this week, but thanks to US West, I can not install it. They don't have drivers for the Cisco 605 DSL modem (which they (US West) have to support).

Yes, I won it in the first round.. showed up via UPS 2-day a few days ago. Pretty nice though the CD key didn't work (no I am neither blind nor dyslexic) and I had to hunt around a bit on DejaNews.

I won one in the 1st round. Love the CD. 2 buddies of mine won in the 1st and 2nd rounds respectively after I emailed them the link.

BAH! I dont like the CD, makes me feel like a 2 yr old playing with a top. its like getting buying a 44 automag, and then painting in sun streak yellow. But I guess Iv always liked darker colors and shades.

For us complete lamers, what was the contest about? I never even heard of it. And what does the front of the CD look like? The CDs that MS gave to my office were silvery and kinda funky.

not a contest really, was a enter your name and we are giving away 1000 win2k pro in first round 5 or 6,000 in second round, and more in third round i think was on www.microsoft.com page still running till feb 24th. as to the cd's they look like the ones you describe shiny silver holograms.
