NYT coverage of a new contest from Microsoft.

Your Chance to Finish a Movie Microsoft Started - New York Times
The contest, which is to begin on Thursday, is called the Ultimate Video Relay and has its own Web site (ultimatevideorelay.com), a spinoff of the Windows Vista Ultimate Web site (ultimatepc.com). The relay reference comes from the invitation to computer users to complete a story titled “The Cube” in several stages. The tale, a humorous cross between “The Matrix” and “The Office” (or “Office Space”) begins with a six-minute clip that can be watched on the relay Web site. The clip is directed by Kyle Newman, the director of “Fanboys,” a coming movie about “Star Wars” aficionados.

I love learning system internals and my recent trip back to Redmond to talk to MVP's and members of different teams gave me a desire to share my favorite internals resources for Windows. This list is just a start (in no particular order), but if you dig deep into the stuff that's in it, you'll come away with a great understanding of what's going on with the operating system. I'll keep the Listas list updated here.
