Want to win fabulous prizes for your insider knowledge of Microsoft beta schedules? Guess the exact date when Windows Vista will ship, and you could win one of 10 prizes in the MSDN Betaexperience Launch Contest.
There’s a catch, though. The contest is only open to residents of Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, or the UK.
Grand prize is an all-expense-paid trip to the U.S. for the launch event. Nine runners-up win Xbox 360 consoles.
Hmmm, I’ve been looking for an excuse to move to Italy…

It’s still fun to play though for all the different short, funny videos you get when submitting a guess. You can keep trying different dates and view the different (misleading) videos.
… Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Ireland …
ah, great 😎
(btw – 10-16-2006. Ok, that’s a bit unrealistic. But – no risk, no fun)
