Microsoft are giving away 1,000 copies of both Windows Vista Ultimate and Office 2007 Professional on the 19th of January (this friday!) to it's UK developers. Simply watch the presentations, answer a question at 17:30 and if you one of the first 1000 to do so you win!

Here is a copy of the email sent:

ONLY A FEW DAYS LEFT TO GO
There are only a few days left before the online launch of Windows Vista and the 2007 Microsoft Office system.
This is the most exciting Developer launch event this year, packed with key presentations and assignments specifically designed to allow developers to fully understand these new development platforms.
To ensure that, as developers, you are able to start using both Windows Vista and the 2007 Microsoft Office system, we are making 1000 copies of each available from 5:30 p.m. on 19 January 2007 in return for correctly answering a simple question, the answer to which is contained within the presentations throughout the day. (The first 1000 valid entries received with the correct answer are eligible, terms and conditions apply).
Day One is designed to give you a thorough introduction to the developer features of both products via a keynote session and two technical tracks.
Day Two is devoted to practical sessions, where you get a chance to put our new platforms through their paces with the help of Microsoft's own experts.
With feedback from Microsoft experts via forums, you won't miss a thing as a virtual attendee. From the opening keynote speech to the actual experience of using the new applications, it will be as good as being there.
There is no need to pre-register for the online event. Just visit the link below on 19 January 2007 for full instructions.
Visit the developer launch site for more information
Sincerely,
The Microsoft Team

Anyone know how to get both Vista and office 2007 it don't say!

[JoshW02@hotmail.co.uk]

Or is it one question for both? PS no one intrested lol!

There is a competition for vista and a competition for office. You enter them seperately. The Vista one will have a question on Vista, the office one will have a question on office. I found online that the question should be an easy one, but only once you have watched the vids. I am hoping my powers of deduction can win the day!
