It's stuff like this that makes me like Microsoft. They actually care about their industry enough to part with their money for its ongoing success. Everyone is helped by this.
YAY, SPAM on Tom's... I wonder why they never remove these? Is anyone manning the ship or are you too busy posting old "news" and starting flame wars? I remember when this was one of the best tech blogs on the web! Le sigh

microsoft only cared because it caused their servers to become full and they bought more storage and servers or contracted out what they needed for more money then the reward being offered is.
Think this varies actual of interest, given the thought of it all, to say that the efforts taken probably wouldnt cost about that amount of money is hard saying. Especially, probably asking alot of people on the idea of knowing little about it. But resourceful maybe, helpful , who knows.
