Microsoft pushes PC design innovation
BetaNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Monday announced the start of a design competition to rethink the desktop computer. The company thinks it is time to move beyond the big beige box, offering a top prize of $125,000 to the group or person with the best PC design. Microsoft hopes that the contest will challenge participants to think outside the box while using Longhorn as a guide.
Details of the contest appeared on the StartSomethingPC.com, a site that appeared about a week ago with a vague description and teaser video on the front page.
