As you very well know the contest was to suppossed to over by September 24th, 2009, because of Microsoft's goof-ups, none could get the downloaded Virtual PC Copy of the Windows 2003 image of Microsoft Dynamics xRM to work.
Why??
Contrary to what Microsoft provided as the password for the Virtual PC in this instructions document, the password for image was Pa$$w0rd and not pass@word1.
Also, the Windows 2003 Image in the provided image was past activation and will not allow to activate or re-activate again.
Cover-ups??
Now that's the interesting part!
Because of the "Overwhelming response from the people of India!!!"(boy! that sure tickles the funny bone!!), (who can easily age by downloading the DVD image considering the available bandwidth here in India. Well some could not even download the DVD by the first completion date!!!) and to cover up the goof-ups, Microsoft has decided to strech the contest date to October-15th!!!. What now? you can ask Microsoft for a copy of the DVD mailed to your door steps directly!!!
Initial Contest details with dead-line as September 24th, 2009.
New Contest details with dead-line as October 15th, 2009.
As much as to say Microsoft's PR department is doing the job for the penny spent!!
