Dr L, I saw that prize in an email recently, and luckily I'm using my Azure freebies as a part of my MSDN Premium account (I think I am, it's so confusing). I rate my chances of winning an Aston Martin as less than that of writing a million lines of code without a single bug, which is marginally less than the chance of Elvis landing during the Olympics opening ceremony in a UFO -- Greg K
P.S. I saw in Top Gear several years ago that the original James Bond Aston Martin was so underpowered and overrated that a modern 4-cylinder family sedan could out easily accelerate it. Apparently they've fixed that in modern DB9 version.
