Do you get anything else? A free chip at least or will you have to buy one as a souvenir?

Are they asking for an interview?

How did they contact you?

Tell us the whole story please?

Wow, that's a lot of questions. I have been told that I will get a chip mounted on something so that I can hang it on the wall. They also said that they will want some video of pictures when I am presented with the chip, but that's it as of right now.

I got an email on Tuesday evening, which we didn't really believe. But then someone from Marden-Kane called, saying that they had been reading posted on this website and the email is real. Finally, after I sent back some paperwork, I talked to a guy from AMD, who asked for a few ideas. He did say that it would probably take a few weeks before the chips are started. Well that's all I know right now.

So they are watching this site.

Maybe "they" could give us an idea when the other winners will be notified?

Very exciting, Autter! Congrats! Keep us updated on the news coverage/pics/etc... I'm sure we'd all like to chronicle the ending to that part of VPG. :)

Congrats again, and wonderful job!

Yes, congrats Autter211, and our apologies. You're husband's emails earlier this week seemed, well, like maybe a prank, especially after 42Entertainment went through the trouble of adding clue after clue after clue, even after you won on Sunday.

Speaking of which, how did you come up with Ivy on Sunday? Did you actually find Hardee, MS and translate to Latin, or did you guess at some other clue?

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

      By WrongHead™ · Posted

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.

      Microsoft, totally not confusing /s 25H2 - Current for non-Arm based Windows 26H1 - Current for Arm based Windows 26H2 - Only for non Arm Windows
