In conjunction with yesterday's launch of Windows Essential Business Server (EBS) 2008 and Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2008, Microsoft has kicked off a "Dream Server" contest. If you're a legal resident of the United States or Canada (except Quebec), at least 18 years old, and an "authorized representative" of a small or midsized business, you can go to http://www.thedreamserver.com and enter to win one of the shiny new products.
Other than typing some quick bits of personal information, you just need to describe your business dream (in 150 or fewer characters). The website's link to the sweepstakes rules didn't work for me, but apparently winners will be drawn at random on December 11, 2008, and January 11, 2009.
Could be a nice payoff for a few minutes of work!
