Loki - Vanishing Point - Microsoft Vista

[Hope]

Has anyone heard of the viral marketing that Microsoft is doing for its new Vista OS?

If you do a search for "Loki Vanishing Point" you will find many blogs and forums deditcated to this.

CNN did a article on this today:  http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/ptech/01/10/vista.promo.ap/index.html

The Vanishing Point website is here: http://vanishingpointgame.com/

There is a Wiki developed to help solve the puzzle:  http://vanishingpointwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page

It seems that M$ has sent out clues to some of the Geeks and non Geeks of the world. There are puzzle boxes, computers, flash thumb drives, and other things.

This has gotten pretty indepth and a lot of people around the world are trying to win the prizes. It is pretty neat.

Hi Hope,

thanks for the interesting post. I checked it out and am afraid to say that I am probably too dumb for this contest! I needed help with one of the easy one's 

I leave it to the 0.01% of the population that finds it easy

I had a little look and thought "no" it's not for me.
I bet some people love this sort of thing though.

I am glad to hear I am not the only one around here that looked at this stuff and when "huh?". This is a bit beyond my ability to figure out. It is pretty neat and the prizes are significant.
