Hello again,

One of the common conversations we have is around how some SBS implementations are very poorly done.  Then, the quality partners, often Partner Groups or SBSC members re-implement the solution to much higher standards.

Microsoft has a competition to reward those excellent designs now – details found at http://www.microsoft.com/uk/technet/designit/default.mspx.  This is the design IT competition with entries required by 3rd May.  There is also a charity entry piece there too.

Prizes include:

Winner

The winner from DesignIT will be awarded a trip to the Ice Hotel in Sweden for two people

Runners up

The four finalists that are runners up in the public vote will be awarded either:

• An Xbox 360
• A Creative Zen (MP3 Player)
• A Smartphone
• A Media Centre PC

The ten shortlisted designs will be exhibited in the DesignIT exhibition commencing 30 May 2006. The exhibition will be held at the Arndean Gallery, London
