A chance to win some cool prizes
As I said in my previous post, I've been trying out a lot of beta software recently. One of the things I've been working with a lot is Visual Studio Team System. I reckon its pretty cool (actually, I'd have trouble going back to the previous version now), and really wish I'd had something like it in some of the projects I've done in the past.
To encourage you all to try it as well, we (the Microsoft New Zealand Developer and Platform team) have decided to run a competition to encourage you to try it out. The competition comes in two flavours, to appeal to both individual developers, and to development teams, and the prizes are pretty cool. There's about $100K in prizes up for grabs, for New Zealand developers only, so you have a great chance to win. Plus you get the chance to become world famous in New Zealand, because the winners get drawn at TechEd, which will give you some great exposure to the New Zealand development community.
To find out more, go to http://www.microsoft.co.nz/msdn/competition. Oh, and if you haven't already, get the VSTS beta here
Best of luck...
