"The contest will award prizes to the PC designer and manufacturer that designs and builds the "smallest and most stylish home PCs" powered by Intel's Viiv technology. " By Mark LaPedus EE Times

I wonder if it is limited to pc manufacturers or can any one participate? It would be neat to give it a try. I wonder if it has to use Win as the os? If it can use any os (ie; eCS), it could help promote OS/2?

"$1m in total prize money isn't to be sniffed at - but there's a minor spanner in the works. The competition is open only to OEM and ODM manufacturers, and not to individuals. For the few OEM and ODMs still reading, the competition closes on March 2nd 2007, and entry forms need to be in by January 15th 2007."

Actually there is also a major 'spanner in the works'.
"Entries must be under 12 litres in size, boot Windows XP MCE or Vista Premium, run Intel Viiv drivers on a Viiv chipset (any G965, P965, 975X, 945GM or 945GT will do) and have a SATA hard drive amongst other things. If we've read the rules correctly, then that makes the AOpen i945GTt-VFA Mini-ITX board an excellent starting point."

It seems one is limited to using Win as the os. Even if it was open to the public, I would not want to use that OS. There are a variety of os's to chose from; including eCS.
