Here are the Surface Hardware Winners!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the third Windows Weekly giveaway, for 5 Surface Go tablets with Type Covers, five Surface Headphones, and two ugly Windows sweaters. Here is the list of the winners.

I know there was some concern about comments disappearing, but I went off the master list of comments to make sure everyone was entered. I also noticed a handful of duplicate/repeat entries, which was against the rules. But none of the winners are, to my knowledge, duplicates.

Next, I’ll be emailing each winner separately and requesting a US or Canadian shipping address. I will try to get the giveaways out of here as quickly as possible, but it’s likely we’ll be using slow-ish ground shipping to save on costs.

Again, thanks!

Paul

    <p>Well done everyone. And thanks Paul/Microsoft/Chris for running this. I'm in the UK here, and I have no problem with the hardware giveaway being US/Canada only. You were very upfront and open with the reasons for doing so, and I think that this contest was a really nice and generous thing to do. Ignore the (very) tiny percentage of grumblers and baiters, and it's nice to see everybody in the comments here being so congratulatory. This was a really cool thing, and I hope you're not put off running something similar in the future. The overwhelming majority of us appreciate it.</p>

    <p>Congratulations to the winners and many thanks to Paul (and everyone else involved as well) for being willing to make all of this possible for us. Even though I wasn't selected as one of the winners, it was still fun to have the opportunity to play. I very much enjoy listening to and reading your work all year long, so I still count myself lucky to have found your coverage. Thanks for all you do!</p>
