The Bill Day giveaway (part 1) - Toshiba Gigabeat T400

Hey, if Bill can give away tens of billions of dollars, the least we can do to celebrate his last day is to give away some Microsoft-powered gear, right? First up: the 4GB Toshiba Gigabeat T400, one of the very last Portable Media Center-based devices ever made. Damn, we kind of miss PMC, and the rad stuff it could do that Zune couldn't (like sync recorded TV shows from your Media Center PC). Take it away!

• Leave a comment below. Tell us about your favorite Microsoft-powered product. Or your favorite Apple product, too, since Bill totally bailed those guys out back in '97.
  
• You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you'll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.)
• If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you'll be fine.
  
• Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don't make this rule (we hate excluding anyone), so be mad at our lawyers and contest laws if you have to be mad.
  
• Winner will be chosen randomly. That winner will get a brand new orange Toshiba Gigabeat T400. Approximate value is $150.
  
• Entries can be submitted until Sunday, June 29th, 11:59PM ET. Good luck!
• Full rules can be found here.

Did Bill invent Minesweeper? If not I'll go more broad and go Windows XP.

[T.J. @ Jun 27th 2008 2:42PM]

I'd say my favorite MS product would be my Xbox 360.

[Stan S. @ Jun 27th 2008 1:54PM]

Office 97--over a decade old and still works just fine enough for me. How many other MS products can say that?

[anthony @ Jun 27th 2008 3:39PM]

My favorite microsoft powered product is my Zune 8gb. However it currently has a cracked screen, so a new Gigabeat would suit me well

[Wolff Martin @ Jun 27th 2008 2:21PM]

Still rockin' the PPC-6700.

[Greg Lucas @ Jun 27th 2008 5:02PM]

red ring of death sucked.....but i would say xbox360

[Asher Burke @ Jun 27th 2008 2:29PM]

Apples OSX rocks my world and so would a new MP3 player

[azambito @ Jun 27th 2008 10:39PM]

This looks cool - never seen this particular one before.

[HAI 2 U @ Jun 27th 2008 2:35PM]

imovie rocks, can't say the same for movie maker =/

wtb imovie 4 windows =/

[Chris Anderson @ Jun 27th 2008 2:47PM]

I'd say mine was the original Sidewinder joystick....MechWarrior II with that baby...pure heaven!

[fanman @ Jun 27th 2008 2:48PM]

The HALO trilogy of course. What else could it possibly be?

[Josh @ Jun 27th 2008 3:10PM]

Wireless Explorer Mouse

[eric @ Jun 27th 2008 4:05PM]

WINDOWS XP.

[bwr117 @ Jun 27th 2008 4:50PM]

Media Center 2005 while sometimes frustrating is still a great app I use every day.

[patleeman @ Jun 27th 2008 5:23PM]

Windows Mobile 6 is ok.

Clunky but works... most of the time.

[USSHoratio @ Jun 27th 2008 5:25PM]

Me me me!!!

[aesopus @ Jun 27th 2008 5:52PM]

I really like my brother´s Zune... even more than my 4g ipod! LIstening to Fleetwood Mac on my treo now and really happy with it, but would appreciatte a gigabbeat

[Mike Grudem @ Jun 27th 2008 6:45PM]

Sidewinder!!!

[Taylor @ Jun 27th 2008 7:10PM]

my ipod died, even though i love it, heres to a new mp3 player!!!

[Mike Hernandez @ Jun 27th 2008 7:16PM]

I remember my old apple, I used to play Arknoid on that that for hours. It's amazing how many hours I whiled away on that old computer, it's great to think back to the days when that was the cutting edge of technology. Arknoid...I think I might need to go find me a copy of that and blast some baddies.

[Ibuprofane @ Jun 27th 2008 7:18PM]

Pick Me!

[Landon @ Jun 27th 2008 9:03PM]

I'd have to say Windows is my fave. I've been using it my entire life.

[Will H. @ Jun 27th 2008 9:58PM]

I loved Windows ME.

[jwt @ Jun 27th 2008 11:08PM]

Windows Xp...I wanna free Zune....

[Phantom @ Jun 27th 2008 11:14PM]

Microsoft Bob! Seriously though, it's a tie between MCE 2005 and the Xbox 360. MCE is one of Microsoft's greatest achievements for producing a DVR with no subscription fees, and one of their greatest blunders for not including Hi-Def support!

[NakedOldGuy @ Jun 27th 2008 11:15PM]

I needs me an mp3 playa!

[akballow @ Jun 28th 2008 1:05AM]

looks better then the zune..

[LMLYP @ Jun 28th 2008 3:36AM]

Love my Zune 80. Amazing Product and ive been looking for a free player to keep around the house if i fill up my Zune 80 :D!

[Jonathan @ Jun 28th 2008 3:56AM]

Without a doubt, Solitaire. Do they have contests for that? Of course, it'd have to be between the hours of 8am and 5pm for everyone to be at their usual best.

[Kwantum @ Jun 28th 2008 5:05AM]

My favorite MS product is either my 360 or Windows 3.1.

[Matt Schlatter @ Jun 28th 2008 5:28AM]

Sure, why not =D Free stuff is always cool by me.

[Wade @ Jun 28th 2008 9:12AM]

me please

[Jason Barlow @ Jun 28th 2008 9:15AM]

Vista rocks!

[Jongscx @ Jun 28th 2008 9:19AM]

[Yoav Weiss @ Jun 28th 2008 9:48AM]

[Mario @ Jun 28th 2008 9:53AM]

My favourite OS is of course Windows RG

[Aaron @ Jun 28th 2008 10:30AM]

My favorite Microsoft product had to be the implementation of Windows CE in the SEGA DreamCast console.

If it's a Microsoft-designed product, they had a wicked joystick about 10 years ago... and of course their 5-button optical mouse.

[6times7 @ Jun 28th 2008 11:01AM]

Windows Mobile. Still more useful than the BB OS.

[Thomas Capasso @ Jun 28th 2008 11:25AM]

I'd have to say my absolute favorite MS product is the XBOX 360. I love that thing. The first one was good...but the 2nd is just the cat's pajamas.

[John @ Jun 28th 2008 11:43AM]

The Xbox line, by far...
Without Xbox there might not have been a Halo. How tragic.

[Kevin @ Jun 28th 2008 5:02PM]

I love Age of Empires 2 with its expansion pack. It is my all-time RTS game!

[Phoenix @ Jun 28th 2008 1:36PM]

I'd love to get something from him that works!

[Nytron @ Jun 28th 2008 1:45PM]

windows ftw

[not_bambam @ Jun 28th 2008 2:47PM]

Age of Empires

[malicioustechnology @ Jun 28th 2008 4:54PM]

WinXP!

[kanoa @ Jun 28th 2008 5:09PM]

me me me

[mfayfer @ Jun 28th 2008 9:34PM]

I'd have to say Windows 95...for the tremendous impact it had on the industry. Of course, I can't live without Office

[XanthViper @ Jun 28th 2008 10:13PM]

Visual Studio

[jon @ Jun 29th 2008 12:31AM]
