Up for a challenge?  How about $10,000?  Visual WebGui is offering $10,000 and giving away prizes for developers who submit a Webmail application written by another framework with fewer lines of code than their Webmail.  Developers can register online from anywhere in the world.  Special prizes will be given to those who sign up at Visual WebGui's PDC booth, #316, or their Tech-Ed booth, V5.  

Visual WebGui CEO Navot Peled says their webmail uses only 11,300 lines of non-designer generated code to provide a full desktop Outlook UI. He comments, "Our engineers believe that the Visual WebGui framework is regarded worldwide as the most efficient tool to write such an application. But we’re willing to put our money where our mouth is, and challenge developers to prove us wrong and to do it better!”

Visual WebGui’s "Project Webmail" is an Outlook-like web application with desktop functionalities that was written by a single developer in only one month.  Think you can do better? Register for the challenge now!
