Dang... I missed sweepstakes 8 & 9. Oh, well. Mostly I like the Windows Security Essentials. I've used Norton, McAfee, AVG and others AND MS Security Essentials does a good job. The price is right. I wonder when the other AV vendors are going to cry foul and attempt to get MS out of the game. Keep up the good work.

Definitely Windows Phoenix. Microsoft isn't that well known for doing fun and wild things like that.

@sircatalyst

I thought the most exciting was the music.  ...and the font.  Not as exciting as Dan Gilbert's Comic Sans rant.  ...but pretty close.

@ilovepemmican

I'd say the last one. It was more open to the answer but not too unrelated to the blog.

I rather enjoyed them all.  Would have been nice to win one of them but ...oh well.

@thundr51

Assuming you actually listen ;) I enjoyed the ones that tied in current events with you socilited feedback.  Somethng MS isn't exactly thought of doing.

But the most fun was Flugtag.  I enjoy Flugtag, so it was neat to see it from the other side.

I'd say the one about saving power was the one that showed me a new face of Windows. The list of logos were nice too.

However, I have to say the most fun sweepstakes were the one held in conjunction with Flugtag. It was fun watching you guys do what you did with the Phoenix at the event.

I liked the Phoenix sweepstakes. That certainly was one interesting project!

I didn't win anything but it was fun playing

secretplace36 at hotmail dot com

I would have to say my favorite was the Phoenix Red Bull one.

I hope to win. I need a copy of Win 7.

@coyotezeye

I was most interested in your Phoenix Project (nice dancing by the way ) and how your guys' logo has changed over the years.  I also was interested in what people liked about Hotmail.  It helped re-introduce somethings to me.

@ewrankin

I definitely liked the one about the Windows logos. It felt like going back to the past. #97forever.

Twitter: @TheDreamer_2010

All of them were cool but I liked the plane building.  Hopefully there will be more giveaways in the future.

@jpang1

I liked the windows phoenix one the most.  It was the most colorful as well as the most interesting story...  Also wondering if any of the first commenters ever win these things.  Always sitting around comment 13 or so and wondering if I should wait and be more near the bottom...

@Greeneyebob

My favorite was the logo sweeps. I love re-inventing old logos, so I thought that was really interesting.

@larspassic

I did enjoy the logo article.

@mzzt

Well, I definitely ejoyed the fluntag(?) But i missed some of the other things. I definitely always enjoy when Windows products are place into the spotlight. I often feel as if people forget about Windows, so anytime is a good time for more knowledge on the products and services.

I thought the logo one was pretty cool actually.

Thought it was pretty fun to see you guys with the Windows Phoenix at Flugtag! Thanks for all the sweepstakes chances!

@keklar

I kinda liked the discussion about the Windows logo. Took me back a few years. Back when DOS commands weren't novelty - they were a survival skill! :D

@z_williamson

The progression of the Windows logo was, by far, the most interesting.

@_KYA

Well, the log information was very interesting as well as the plane.

@corwinamber

I liked everything I read about, and I certainly liked all the prizes! The Logo flashback was awesome, as was the flugtag, and I really want a Zune :)

Windows has been good to me so far this year. I bought and installed Win 7, then i won 7 cans of soda direct from a Microsoft soda fridge, and then i won a copy of Office 2010.

A zune on top of all that would literally make me a fan for life. :)

As I am an aviation buff (no GA license.. yet) I would have to say the Windows Phoenix one.

@crimsonembedded

This has been a good series.  Hoping for an encore down the road.

@dilkry

I really enjoyed reading about the Phoenix for the Flugtag.  Definitely my favorite of all the blog posts.

@MoodyShuffle

I loved the post about the logo best.  It was certainly fun seeing the logo's various incarnations.  Though, I kind of miss the tails on the logo :P

definitely hotmail. I´ve been using it since the new features came live. I´m even using windows live mail + hotmail with active sync on my HD2 as well. As a fanboy there´s nothing better than new features to things that you already like. cheers

I liked the Windows Recession Sweepstakes #8 & 9: The New Hotmail. Interesting and informative!!

I thought the music one was most interesting.

Thanks!

@paul_d

I'm digging the Windows Phoenix all the way.

@deleolowoyo

The logo.  Shows how it changed over the years.

@wheredidyou

Logo, Phoenix, MSE, but overall a great series guys!

@jortega41

So, why are you wearing shades in a dark train station? Nope I haven't missed a thing except being lucky :-) I liked the open comment one.

email: @w3zj.com

I have been enjoying the new Hotmail and really enjoyed having Office built into Hotmail it has helped greatly for the e-mails I send and recive.

@TheAkrahn

I enjoyed the entry regarding new features of Windows 7, it informed me of a couple I didn't know about.

@ghaleon

I liked the evolution of the logo myself, not sure why...just interesting to see how simple things like that evolve over the years.

@Darth_Icarus

I think the Windows Phoenix was great. It's good to see the team have a little fun,

The Phoenix was the coolest, but I'm glad I signed up and am enjoying the blogs and notifications on twitter.

@coffeeshrk

I rather enjoyed them all.  Would have been nice to win one of them but ...oh well.

@RoseWhisperer

I enjoyed the "Flying Day" contest.  It just looked like a lot of fun and I enjoyed the pix that were posted.

I enjoyed the "Flying Day" contest.  It just looked like a lot of fun and I enjoyed the pix that were posted.

@rogXue

I enjoyed almost all of them, but the Hotmail and Windows logo ones were my favorite.

@MasterDevwi

Loved the Phoenix airplane blog post.

@kazoodiver

I liked the Education by Numbers sweeps!  A little late to the party :(

@evico

I'd say #7 about education because it's important Microsoft continues a strong push there and #4 with the Windows logos. Good times...

Darn, forgot my Twitter:

@imalbert

It's been too long since the first sweep, but the Phoenix project was interesting, too bad it couldn't fly longer.

@apham79

made the switch to security essentials and have not been disappointed.

@shotaboogray

I enjoyed the flight of the phoenix and the history of the logo the most. Been there for all the logo changes and it was a nice bit of nostalgia to see how they've evolved over the years. Here's hoping I get to replace vista 64 on my laptop with Win7. :)  Enjoyed the ride, thanks for running the contest and giving us some fun along the way. @gsyoungblood

I liked Sweepstakes 4 the best. Call me nostalgic, but I really enjoyed taking a look back at the old logos. I also enjoyed the sharing of music in Sweepstakes 2. However, I got the most out of Sweepstakes 8 & 9 because it motivated me to re-engage with Hotmail.

@garysamuelroth

It's tough to decide which sweeps post was most interesting.  The logo evolution and pheonix and music posts were great but I think the one i took the most from was #3 the reduced power one.

Thanks for the great info.

on Twitter @JBSTG424

Hello,

I enjoyed learning even more about the Hotmail.  

@scotth1354

I really like how Microsoft is working to be more energy efficient and leave a smaller footprint.

I liked the "What's a Picture Worth" one, but definitely missed some of these posts along the way.  The flying one looks like it would have been interesting.  I appreciated you highlighting Hotmail, but it really looked pretty much like the old Hotmail to me.

I liked the got schooled. My daughter is going back to school, so it was cool to know some of those little facts.

@un1

I really loved the ever-changing logo one. It was great to reminisce the past windows.

The Phoenix project was really cool!

@FaSSt2001

There were so many great ones, but I'd like to say that I enjoyed the trip down memory lane with all the logos through the years.  It really did bring back some great memories!  I'd like to add that I'm looking forward to creating new Microsoft memories in the near future!  @dscammell

The sweeps about the ever-changing logo was my favorite.

@kenm619

I loved the Windows Logo tour. @tissitater

Changing logo it is!!  It was pretty cool and very usable.

@cootang2

I liked the school sweepstakes. Gave me a chance to keep pounding the Tablet PC drum.

Thanks for doing all this!

@dynawing

Oh, wow, I missed about half of these. There was an MSE one?

I thought that the logo one was easily the most interesting.

@chapzork

@tsrblke Thanks for the feedback.  This is actually a great forum to provide direct feedback.  We usually read every comment on our posts.

Having been a MS fan since the late 80s, I liked the changing logo sweepstakes.

@techsage

I liked the Phoenix sweeps! Very cool, just wish I'd been able to be at the event to see it in person!

@fernikfurra

My favorite sweeps topic was the Music one.  I'm a musician, so truly LOVED it!

@luischinea

My favorite post of yours was about the Flugtag flyer you built. It's nice to see Microsoft getting involved in fun events like that.

@bdewong

I like the saving power one.

@curtislu

It is difficult to pick a favorite between the Phoenix Project and the progression of the logo.  The "flight of the Phoenix" was highlighted by the great dance but once again seeing the logos for Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 was a real trip back in time.  After Windows 3.1, when I purchased my Windows 95 machine, I was sure that would last me a lifetime.  How little I knew the great things coming my way, particularly with Windows Vista and now Windows 7.  

The Windows Vista is my favorite logo because it represented a dramatic change not only in the logo but the OS as well.

Regards,

Corrine, @SecurityGarden

Flugtag for me!

@dkshare

The Phoenix one. Better luck next time!

@foo777

The Phoenix was definitely the best, from the get go to the let go.

icuponq2[at]hotmail[dot]com

I also vote for MSSE as my favorite.

Thanks

I liked these ones in order of preference: 1. Windows Logo 2. Education 3.Hotmail. xpclient and domain is live.com

I enjoyed rediscovering Hotmail.  I love the new Hotmail.  Can't get enough news and talk about it!  Thanks for all the opportunities to win!

@ekaschyk

The logos were great.

@justinwjones

I liked the FlugTag one, even though I was disappointed at the outcome of it...

@lefthandedgeek

I enjoyed them all, but if I had to pick just one, it would probably be the Windows logo evolution.

Thanks!

Twitter: @ilRadd

All of them were great.  Any contest to win stuff is awesome.  Number 10 would be my favorite if you pick me :-)

The discounts Microsoft has been offering to students over the last year or two have been exceptional, so that's one thing. Microsoft Security Essentials has also turned out to be a really good baseline anti-virus where most other solutions (free or otherwise) have become bloated messes.

@NeoHumanity

The logo sweeos was an interesting topic, especially to see the progression over the years.  However Flugtag rules and I hope you all had a good time there. Thanks for the sweepstakes, i hope my chances are good for this round. I am loving Windows 7, Zune HD is hands down an ipod-killer if there ever was one, and Windows Phone is going to be the fatal  blow to the iphone that this society needs.

Em - johnohlms@gmail.com

Tw - @johnohlms

the PHoenix was the most fun......just had to text twice though, didn't put who I was voting for at first so had the folks reading the texts pretty confused....

and I always forget to tag my post.....Phoenix was a blast.

@tinytim35

I thought the most interesting one was the Windows logo over the years.  @KC7ISD

I'd say the Phoenix project was the most interesting. Engineering is one of the most important aspects of our future inventions (imagination being the first)

@Dhuvy

The history of the logo was the best. That brought back a lot of good memories.

Windows Phoenix!

@peggyannet

The most poignant was the logo.  It was a trip down nostalgia lane; we have boxes in our storage room with most of those logos on them!

Having started with a Franklin Ace (which was an Apple IIe clone) and double floppies, growing up with Windows has been an enjoyable ride.  Thanks (and keep up the good work!)

I think the red bull plane wins the "most interesting" award.  

twitter:  @aaronmash

I enjoyed the feature on the Windows logo evolution and found the story behind it interesting. My favorite has to be the piece on energy issues and I hope to see more "green" articles like it.

@pistonhjr

I really liked the last post about hotmail. I curious to see what more hotmail is bringing to the table.

I liked the homemade airplane.

@wholesalekarma

Logo, yup. @rally666

"What I've missed" is a win in the sweeps btw ;)

I kinda liked the Windows Phoenix post. Showed how much you guys enjoy being together and how well you work on stuff outside the office too. That was very interesting, especially the part where you guys jumped in after the Phoenix took a nose dive straight down. Lol.

@grajasekar as always.

Good luck folks and congrats in advance to whoever wins!

Phoenix was the coolest!!

@maglore1968

I really enjoyed Windows Phoenix!

I'm a sucker for airplanes. I love that you guys built your own plane!

I really liked #5 Flying Day! I've always been a big fan of the redbull flugtag... and windows!! :)

@MamaSarahJane

The Phoenix was very cool. but going back in time and seeing the old logos was fun too

@kngeric07

I enjoyed them all, im sad that its the last sweepstakes. Keep Blogging!

@hsith

How to Save Power and the Flugtag Phoenix were the most interesting to me.  -Jody @concisecactus

My favorite was the logo. It was interesting how the logo change and didn't change over the years. I remembered too many of them.

@autodidact1

I liked all of them, they were all fun to read, but the most interesting one for me was the windows logo one. Ah nostalgia from the Win 3.1 days.

@migue333

All pretty good

@cyric

I thought the airplane was pretty cool. Keep it up guys!

@lexwhoward

I loved the look back on all of the Windows logos.

@drewh70

The Hotmail retrofit has been nice.

@hall2005

Wow -- I missed the whole series except for this one!

As a diehard Windows user, I enjoyed looking at the changing logo.

I enjoyed all of them, even though I only participated in a couple.

@bkahn

Sorry I missed this series -- looks like it was fun!  As a diehard Windows user , I got a kick out of seeing the logo changes over the years.

@webbahboy

Wondering if the Phoenix  will rise from its ashes?

Definately liked the music...but the trip down window logo lane was pretty fun too

@my_leisure

I liked Sweepstakes #4, with the different logos.  it was a nostalgic look back at the past.

@KevlarGibs

Well I missed it all, but I read about Windows Phoenix and that seemed cool.

@Daguru77

What can I say, the 1st of the 10 sweepstakes was the best!

@trhodes93

Windows Phoenix

It will be my turn at some time....sigh

greator1 at hotmail.com

I liked the music one

@JoshC_09

I think I liked the logos the best, it was neat seeing all of them again.

I found the view of the logo over time was pretty neat, although I think it would have been better to do a gif, morphing the logos from one to the other.

d.mcelhaney@20bphotography.com

The Logo post was interesting!

@rmbootsman

Red Bull Flugtag without a doubt, I love seeing the creations teams come up with.

@smcnaugher

I liked the windows phoenix one the most.

loved the story of the logo

I thought Windows Phoenix was the most interesting.  It's just something you don't see everyday.  Thanks for all the sweepstakes, and look forward to future events!

My favorite was "Our Ever changing Logo." With every new release of the Windows platform, I look forward to see what the new logo will look like, and the splash screen.

@AdamWisden

I liked the last one ..

@webqas

On the upside, we learned alot about Windows stuffs!

Easily miss the #7 one since I was failed by the local school system here I fully understand that.  

@Iriakim

I liked the logo one the best because it reminded me of my old 95 computer.

Windows Recession Sweepstakes #4: What’s a Picture Worth?

I like looking at how things change... :)

I like 6 with the DJ stuff.  I'm just starting to do some of that kind of thing and thought that was pretty cool.

As tech support for my wife and daughters, I like the fact that Windows 7 HASN'T GIVEN ONE BIT OF TROUBLE since we got it on my younger daughter's new computer.  Elder daughter is still using XP and I have to fix things occasionally; wife and I are using Vista and don't have all that much trouble, although her sound quit recently for no apparent reason.  (Yes, I got it working again -- just had to reinstall a driver.)  I'll be upgrading the wife's computer and installing Windows 7 on both it and my machine; elder daughter will get a new computer soon, and it will have Windows 7 too.

The Logo was my favorite I remember then all well..I did win a copy of Office 2010 so I really liked that one also. I don't have any type of video/audio player so a Zune would be really neat.

love windows has more programs avalable than mac and word proccesiing is better

Power Save was really interesting!

Wow, I'm gonna really miss all the cool prizes.

@melan26

Definitely Windows Phoenix. Fun all around.

@KenA

The rediscover Hotmail had to be the most interesting..........Hotmail having done a complete reversal of direction now outshines Google, Yahoo and all the rest.

I liked the music one most. Seemed pretty involved. Close to that was the MSE one, given that it is no frills and what I install in lieu of not installing anything these days (I don't think antivirus is strictly necessary for Windows, given the security features present).

@Yertosaurus

I'm still learning all the new things Windows 7 does, after years of using Windows, Vista and all sorts of different programs, it'salways fun to try something new! This was a great marketing gimik.

d.darner@sbcglobal.net

I liked the flugtag thing, thought it was different for microsoft.

@the_pi_man

My favorite was #8 and 9, because of the ability to use office directly in hotmail, even if one doesn´t have office installed on the pc, anyway, all were very interesting, continue that way =)...

i especially enjoyed the one about how the icons have changed, going through different color and screen bit capabilites...

@WelcomeMATFilms

Sweepstakes #4 Windows Recession : What’s a Picture Worth? Was one of my favorites. I liked seeing how Microsoft has changed over the years. just by looking at the different logos you can seem an improvement.Ashton Brown  @brother1brown

Entry 8 and 9 were my favorites. Love Microsoft Security Essentials best free anti-virus ever.

@SheikhAdnan

As a prospect Aerospace Engineer, I like the sweepstakes #5 the best! Windows Search and Windows Aero on Windows 7 are the best features.  At first, I thought I wouldn't use it often but it turns out both tools increased my productivity!

As long as there's free stuff involved, they're all great!

@Wesley7Allen

I have loved following you guys and have learned so much to add to my own Windows 7 experience. Loved the logosand Hotmail, music. etc... Now I'd love to WIN :)

Id have to go with the music post. Loving my Zune 120 and would love a Zune HD to keep it company!

@JosiahMelendez

oh yeah and Phoenix.... oops forgot my tweer

@joey2guns

The Flugtag was by far the most interesting (and entertaining!). Sweeps #2 was pretty cool too, as a rookie musician I can't exclude that one! I hope you keep up the good work with Windows!

This one, because I missed the others and so I wouldn't know too much about them.

@windsety

I liked the music one the most.. always interesting to see the different tastes in music everyone has.

Zug

Zugshad@googlemail.com

Zune music - can't go wrong with the pass.

I liked 3 the "Power-less"  green is good. knowledge is good.

The fact that you built your own plane is kinda awesome.  So I have to say that's the most interesting one I've seen.

The Phoenix one was a pleasant surprise which showed the cool things Microsoft can do. @wincomplete.

P.S. Btw nice pic.

Really love the Windows Security Essentials. Have not had any problems since installing it 4 months ago. Always seemed to have a problem when I McAfee from Comcast Cable. Great job, thanks again

Really love Windows Security Essentials. Have not had any problems with my laptop since I installed it 4 months ago. Always seemed to have some type of problem with McAfee from Comcast Cable. Thanks again.

djflint@hotmail.com

All of them were quite unique and interesting, but I liked the logo trip the most. I had never seen all the Windows logos compared side by side like that. Thanks for having the contest!

My email:

vt903809@ohio.edu

I Love The Shake to Minimize all open Windows.

@dreamtag

Definitely Windows Phoenix.  Can't beat building your own plane!

@Cosmosis on Twitter

I liked week 7.  It is both interesting and sad to see how much it costs a student to drop out.  I dropped out of high school but am now attending college, have a 3.89 GPA, and am in my school's honors program.  I will soon be a computer engineer.  On a slightly separate note, it is nice to see that you are again selling Windows 7 to students for $30.  I will post that on my company site in a few minutes.

@webbwbb

Loved windows 7 great program want untimate tho only have home premium

          @Evanhaston

I dug the Hotmail one because I liked seeing how everyone used the different Windows Live products.

@dalydose

I liked the Power Save stuff.

I thought #5 Flying day was great. Project Phoenix is a super cool idea. Either way I did like all of the articles and the contests were great. Hope to see more of this soon. Thanks again. @techvudu

The one where everyone posted their favorite Windows 7 feature was interesting, a couple I didn't know about.

jborton at gmail dot com

I really like all of them, and I participated in a couple.

@byteconnector

Project Phoenix was interesting.

I'm surprised that being so close to Boeing, no one bothered to consult with some experts on airplane design.

It looked as if the shape of the wing was designed to nosedive. The back of the wing looked from the video to sweep down, acting like flaps in a lowered position. Also, the leading edge of a wing is the most critical. The curve of the top of a wing is a longer distance than the bottom in order to provide lift due to a pressure difference between the top and bottom of the wing.

Nice attempt, though.

@dmyers2k

I liked all of them but the Phoenix Project was the most interesting of them all.

@bk_105

Had the fun of hosting a Windows Launch party, but enjoyed the trip back in time with the different logos, although you could have gone farther.  I remember fondly Windows for Workgroups 3.11 - it made me the envy of my geek friends.

Id say my fovite are as follows:

1: Power Management

2: Phoenix

3: The new icon and splash screen

Power officency is really important to me, thats why its number one. But i like Project Phoenix and the new icon becuase it shows that Microsoft is a company filled with people who like to have fun and express themselfs - not all of them are white collar nerds like us....everyday of the week lol

I liked reading the Ever Changing Logos article, which brought tears to my eyes (not literally), remembering the awesome looking 9x Windows Flags. Still wished you guys used those.

@Rush12049

Rush1.2049 [at] hotmail [dot] com

Learning more about the new Hotmail was my favorite! Love it!

@LorenzoA

I liked the Windows Phoenix one the best. Very cool, Microsoft.

Personally, I like reading about all of it, it shows me what I can do or not do with my system.  But, the logo thing was pretty sweet.

got to love security essentials, doing a great job

@denglishbi

#4 about the logo was the most interesting because seeing those images made me go through a quick "flashback" of when I first began using computers all the way through to the magic of Windows 7 now.

The best was the logo contest it was nice to see how the brand has changed through the years.

Love Windows Security Essentials! Keep up the good work with it!

forgot my email and twitter

email is: onekidneywonder@gmail.com

my twitter is: @joerod4

It's been a while since I noticed one of these was happening, but building an airplane seems pretty interesting.

dashiell.menard@gmail.com

Just found this...I like it and wish I would have known about this 9 sweepstakes ago...oh well...went and looked at what I missed and they all where great for one reason or another...what a great feel good concept...keep up the moral ...love it

@juno.com

Love the new Hotmail! Makes getting my email so much easier. And seriously?? 10 GIGABYTES of attachments?!

Awesome, though I don't know if I will ever use that much space for an attachment! LOL

Twitter: @dkmccue

I loved seeing the logos in number 4, I've been using Windows since 3.1 and through the ups and downs, it's always been the best!  However my favorite (and the one most relevant to me) is the new Hotmail, I was using Gmail but I've gone back to Hotmail with the awesome new Skydrive attachments, Office web viewers/editors, Exchange Active Sync, and the removal of adds at the bottom of messages (yay)!  Thanks for this opportunity and I look forward to more sweepstakes in the future!!!

@ScienceProUSA

Loved the logos especially windows 95 @razdan

I liked reading about the Phoenix.  It was fun to read something more lighthearted while at work eating lunch instead of dry tech articles. :-)

I loved the logo one. It's kinda nice to see how the Windows Logo has evolved along with the operating system.

@Emprovision

My favorite is Hotmail.  I really like the new UI and 10 GB is great.  I have been using Hotmail for many years and the new version makes it very convenient to use.

I loved hearing about the phoenix project. It's great that you guys both work hard and play hard.

@jaxim (twitter)

i LOVED this

i was glued to the peeps!!!

sorry it is leaving.

The most interesting contest was probably the one about the evolution of the Windows Logo... Interesting to see how such an iconic logo has morphed and evolved over the years.

@H4WKE on Twitter

I kinda missed out on this one since I don't use Twitter. But I did like the logo one. Pretty cool stuff

"Education by the Numbers"  What can I say, I'm an educator. What better way for students to run 7 than to pick it up for 30 bucks?.  Is there a reason to not buy it? (Note: my netbook is happily running Win 7!)

The Phoenix red bull was very cool @cjsorel

I liked the information about the Windows logo. @baerwb

Power-less is definitely important.

@licensed_user

if i had known about the sweepstakes sooner i would had like Windows Recession Sweepstakes #4 the most.

I liked the one on all the different Windows logos; it brought back a lot of memories.  Great work on the entire series!

@jscarpe

You forgot the very first recession sweepstakes about our favorite Windows 7 feature :) I liked that followed by the Windows logo one. @tuxplorer

I liked reading about everyone's opinion about Microsoft's contributions to student education and how to better help students improve. I've dealt with Microsoft in education for about 9 years, and have seen the benefits first hand, and can definitely list a few areas of potential improvement.

@mattstanzel

I loved the new Windows logo...its kinda kool ! Plus the Windows Security Essentials is damn good and light on system resources unlike other security softwares that totally juice my PCs resources. Windows 7 Rocks !

I liked the tell the features u like best.

Beholder.1986@gmail.com

The Hotmail one was most interesting.

@Asrialys

I just found this on the MSN webpage. I'll be a new just-joined reader and haven't done anything yet

Do thank the Windows development teem for me, They really went above and beyond the usual with Windows 7.  I love it.

forthrightly, i don't know what i should say but i just want to enter the blog & try to win something on my life ^^ cause i read on the Tweet "leave a comment to enter to win Windows 7, Office 2010 & a Zune" so i hope that ^^.

Definitely the phoenix project, very cool.

Nefastus@gmail.com

I enjoyed talking with everyone what our best Windows 7 feature is.

The Windows Logo sweeps was the most interesting one for me!

Thanks for all the giveaways!

Hotmail - thank you!  @peaceful

hotmail or phoenix. hotmail, prolly - because i use it... but yeah, phoenix was fun.

I missed most of the sweeps, found out around #6.  I think the Education by Numbers was the most informative.  I'm completely amazed by all that you do for students.  I had no idea before this.  @My3Sons33

The music one was cool. Overall, I was just really wishing I would win as my wish that Microsoft would offer student deals to non-students one day a year or something seems dashed forever, thus no fancy Office or WIndows upgrade for poor me :(.

@barryschuler

barry_schuler@yahoo.com

I enjoyed the Phoenix/flugtag posts. It's nice to see the other side of Microsoft: the people behind the products enjoying what they do.

@brendan_walker

I liked the logo posting - it was very interesting!

...Of course, the airplane blog session was cool too!  :-)
