We all techies so let's do the math -

  1.. We are giving lots of prizes
    1.. First prize is a 3 day, 2 night trip to Redmond to meet the Windows
PowerShell team
    2.. 12 Microsoft XBox 360 Core gaming systems
    3.. 36 copies of PowerGadgets (Drool Drool)
    4.. 36 copies of the book Windows PowerShell: TFM
    5.. 24 copeis of PrimalScript 4.1 for Windows PowerShell
    6.. 36 Windows PowerShell T-Shirts
  2.. PowerShell just shipped so a ton of people are just starting to learn
it
  3.. Lots of people don't enter contests
Conclusion:  If you submit a few scripts, you stand a good chance of winning
(no promises but you do the math :-) ).   If you can pipe GET-PROCESS to
WHERE {$_.HANDLES -GE 500}, you should be submitting your scripts (ok so you
probably won't with with that one since I submitted it about 3 seconds after
the contest started, but you get the idea).

Check out all the details here:

If there is any difference between the data at that website and my blog
entry - trust the website.

Cheers!
