I am not comfortable that everything that you send in becomes their property - that doesn't float my boat. their contest - their rules and all your ideas are their ideas in the end: microsoft ends up with xyz amount of brilliant small business ideas that they can market, execute, exploit and sell. in this regard, 200k for one winning plan is a joke.

This type of contest might not be for everyone, but for some, it might be their only chance are stardom. At least for a year they might get some help from MS.
