Voting Begins in MS PC Design Contest
4 Comments
Public's Choice voting has begun for Microsoft's next-generation PC design contest hosted on StartSomethingPC.com, with the winner being awarded $25,000. The idea was to move beyond the beige box and rethink how people are using their computers - while keeping Windows Vista in mind.
The PC designs fit into four segments: Entertainment, Productivity, Living/Lifestyle and Communication/Mobility. Submissions were accepted from professionals, amateur designers and even students from May 18 to October 3. Votes will be counted until December 16 and winners in three categories will be announced at CES 2006 in Las Vegas. A panel of judges and Microsoft chairman Bill Gates will select the other two winners.
