For RSS readers who will not see the announcement:

Today is the day! The HP Dragon Competition has started on Bink.nu!

So what do you have to do to get a chance to win the HP Dragon?

First of all you have to be a member of Bink.nu, if you are not a member yet, sign-up here.

What product manager of Microsoft would you like Bink.nu to do an interview with?

Why this product manager? 

Also include two realistic questions you would like asked?

No executives like Bill Gates, Ballmer, ext...

You can browse the categories/tags to get an idea of Microsoft products, because there are a lot!

Send your ideas/questions to bink@vista.aero before May 20th! UPDATE: Also include your Bink.nu ID!! and leave a comment in this article

On May 20th I'll post the best 3 and then Bink.nu visitors can vote for the best questions.
On May 21st 21:00 GMT+1 the votes will be counted.
Soon after that the winner will be announced!!

This is an international competition, so all countries can participate (it is not limited to the US or EU), customs and taxes will all be taken care of when this HP is shipped via FedEx to the winner.

Good Luck, may the best Bink.nu member win! Oh and of course I'll do my upper most best to get that interview and those questions answered!
