Congratulations nategoss, you’re our Windows Recessions Sweepstakes #5 winner.  Hit me up on Twitter with your email address.

Wow!  That pretty much sums up everyone’s reaction at the phenomenal response to the first Windows Recession Sweepstakes.  Turns out your odds of winning were a little better than 1/797 (factoring out duplicates, my comments, invalid entries, etc.).  And the lucky winner is:

It’s been a long year. Just when the economy was starting to look perky job growth stalled in its non-Census tracks. Then summer, which we normally can’t wait to see, broke down the door and turned most of the country into a sweltering puddle of sweat—except Seattle, where it’s freezing and rainy. And since we Puget Sound-based Microsofties only see an average of 58 sunny days a year, our gloom is particularly profound right now.

So, we decided to give a bunch of stuff away to make you feel better. We’re calling it the “Recession Sweepstakes”.
