Will has won a great prize package including the trip to space, along with a Windows Vista-based, AMD-powered Dell desktop PC; a 24-inch widescreen monitor; a Zune™ digital media player; an Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system; three Games for Windows® game titles; a Microsoft® LifeCam VX-6000 webcam; Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007; and $50,000 cash.

Vanishing Point was a global puzzle game that played out online and in the real world to celebrate the launch of Windows Vista.  Clues were delivered via spectacular events, such as a custom light show in the fountains of the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, skywriting and gorgeous building projections around the world, and a fireworks finale in Seattle.  You can check out the conversation tracking it here.

Vanishing Point was one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time, and the Windows Team and I enjoyed meeting some of you at the finale in Seattle.  Be sure and check out the webcast, and congratulations to Will!
