微軟正在舉行一場Windows7圖片競賽,面向對象是Windows7和Windows Server 2008 R2的Beta測試者們。有5位隨機抽取的獲勝者將獲得Windows7小紀念品以表彰他們的測試工作。征集要求是,要測試者們展現他們的測試環境,或者展現自己的充沛活力和對科技的熱愛。文件需要是JPEG格式並標注好參賽者姓名,就像他們曾經給Microsoft Connect平台提交Bug時做的那樣。微軟設置了機器用在線地圖實時展現提交照片的測試者們所在的地理位置。
以下是測試者們收到的郵件全文:

Dear [匿名人士],
As we get settled with our new team and in our new building we'd like to take the opportunity and ask for your help in introducing YOU to the new team! We have lots of empty wall space surrounding our offices and we'd like to devote a large chunk to honoring our awesome Windows 7 beta participants!
We have already hung a series of computer generated push pin maps (courtesy of MapPoint) of participant locations and would like to supplement this with large collages of photos.
If you are interested in submitting a photo for us to use, please ensure you follow the guidelines listed below.
Photo Requirements - Your submission must comply with the following criteria in order to be accepted and qualify for the drawing:
1. Your photo must be submitted in JPEG format
2. You must use the following naming convention: <(Connect handle)> EX: John Smith (scrappydog90).jpg
3. You must email the picture to [removed] by COB on January 15, 2010.
4. The subject line of your email must be "Windows 7 Photo Contest"

6. Your photo should reflect you as a unique individual (e.g. no driver license, passport photos or mug shots)
7. You may submit more than one photo, however you will only be entered once in the drawing
Suggestions - Be Creative and Have Fun!
