The Extreme Performance Project (XPP) has gone nuts? They are giving away AMD XP Cpu's to passer-by's!!!
Are we really giving away 1,200 new AMD Athlon XP processors? Yeah. We really are. And you could be one of the first to get your hands on one. FREE. Heck, we'll even throw in a high performance motherboard and heat-sink fan to help you try it out.
Think we're kidding? Well, seeing is believing. Soon you can check out a video of a past event. Or log on during one of the giveaways and you can join in the fun via web cam. Of course, if you live in one of our select cities, you can catch all the action first-hand, and get a chance to win. If you don't, never fear. You'll soon have a chance to win online!
"The individuals who have had direct contact with the letter are currently undergoing testing, and will receive all appropriate medical attention.
Because the risk of person-to-person spread is so low, the Health Department does not feel further testing is necessary for staff who did not have direct contact with these materials.
"We have a team of people on the ground in Nevada to work with local officials and provide the highest level of support and care to all of our employees, both the limited number who may have been directly affected by this situation and all of their co-workers who are obviously concerned and upset by this news. We are also working to identify any employees from Redmond or other sites who might have visited the Reno site during the affected time period, to get them the information they need.
"We recognize that this situation is potentially unsettling, but I would urge everyone to wait for the final test results before drawing any conclusions.
I want to assure everyone at Microsoft that we are taking all prudent steps to deal with the situation and will provide you with additional updates as soon as we have new, confirmed information."
