After have won the challenge last year, I was really surprised to see again my project selected to the final! We had good time in Seattle, where we visited the Windows Embedded headquarter, Microsoft Advanta, and we met judges of the competition: the Windows CE architect Mike Hall, the evangelist Olivier Bloch and Sam Phung, embedded MVP.



At the end I achieved the 3° place, while my colleague Gianni was 2°; Sebastian Londoño from Colombia won the first prize with his project ArS8VER.
