&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD class="" style="HEIGHT: 19px"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;WOW!&lt;/STRONG&gt; This is a very clever idea and the fact that it's running in association with the &lt;A href="http://www.xbox.com/en-gb/default.htm" mce_href="http://www.xbox.com/en-gb/default.htm"&gt;XBOX 360&lt;/A&gt; is very cool.&amp;nbsp; As I mentioned in a previous post I'm not very well informed when it comes to sport.&amp;nbsp; Normally Fantasy Leagues revolve around sport, mainly Football.&amp;nbsp; Well all that changes with this cool idea for a &lt;A href="http://www.fantasymusicmanager.co.uk/cgi-bin/MUSM_logn_0001.cgi?f=1&amp;amp;c=MUSICMNGR" mce_href="http://www.fantasymusicmanager.co.uk/cgi-bin/MUSM_logn_0001.cgi?f=1&amp;amp;c=MUSICMNGR"&gt;'Fantasy Music Manager' &lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.fantasymusicmanager.co.uk/cgi-bin/MUSM_copy_0001.cgi?copy=HOWTOPLAY" mce_href="http://www.fantasymusicmanager.co.uk/cgi-bin/MUSM_copy_0001.cgi?copy=HOWTOPLAY"&gt;Play the part of a Music Manager&lt;/A&gt; for your own record company over eight weeks and see if you can win the grand prize of £25,000 and tickets for the &lt;A href="http://brits.co.uk/" mce_href="http://brits.co.uk/"&gt;BRIT Awards 2007&lt;/A&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Sorry if you are reading this outside the UK, especially readers from the US where £25,000 is a lot of dollars, the competition is only open to UK residents over 18 years old.&amp;nbsp; &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;If it wasn't for the &lt;A href="http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/preview/default.mspx" mce_href="http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/preview/default.mspx"&gt;Exchange&lt;/A&gt;, &lt;A href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/" mce_href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/"&gt;Vista&lt;/A&gt; and &lt;A href="http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/default.mspx" mce_href="http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/default.mspx"&gt;Office&lt;/A&gt; Roadshow our team is putting together I would not have been doing record company research and would not have come across this information.&amp;nbsp; The first of our roadshow events is in Birmingham next week (not registered? &lt;A class="" title="Register Now! Special Guests include Paris Hilton (only joking)" href="http://www.microsoft.co.uk/events/EventDetail.aspx?eventid=8564" mce_href="http://www.microsoft.co.uk/events/EventDetail.aspx?eventid=8564"&gt;Register now!&lt;/A&gt;) and it should all become clear if you are attending.&amp;nbsp; I don't believe in coincidence so I find it very strange when this type of thing happens.&amp;nbsp; Anyway back to the roadshow stuff, if you can't make Birmingham check out the registration site &lt;A href="http://www.microsoft.co.uk/events/EventDetail.aspx?eventid=8564" mce_href="http://www.microsoft.co.uk/events/EventDetail.aspx?eventid=8564"&gt;here&lt;/A&gt; for other dates and locations.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;If you do read this post, enter the competition and then win, please drop me a comment back on my blog.&amp;nbsp; I'd like to know I was able to help :) &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;James Akrigg&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=470668" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.technet.com/outofoffice/archive/tags/Technology+Views/default.aspx">Technology Views</category><category domain="http://blogs.technet.com/outofoffice/archive/tags/Biz+Brain/default.aspx">Biz Brain</category><category domain="http://blogs.technet.com/outofoffice/archive/tags/Cool/default.aspx">Cool</category></item></channel></rss>
