Updates:
We've raised the bar with an additional sponsor, and the grand prize is now $10,000.
The contest entry date has also been moved to 4/1/2007. An odd day for a beginning, but it's no April Fool's.
NDAs will be signed by required parties to protect your intellectual property.
"Some people do not suffer fools gladly".
Also, a clarification that the contest will allow games built using (as a base) Torque game engines (TGE, TGB, TGEA, TorqueX) and the use of content packs is allowed, indeed encouraged as they significantly reduce development time. Products like ArcaneFX, Gryphon (previously known as MMO Enhancement Kit)/MMOKIT, and Titas will also greatly reduce the coding burden.
We will be hopefully announcing some new products by Dream Games soon which will also jumpstart your game development in a big big way!...

Microsoft now has the upcoming Visual Studio Codename "Orcas" available for download as a Virtual PC Image. This enables you to download and install it without risking damage to your currently installed software. You will need Virtual PC 2004 SP1 or Virtual PC 2007 (Windows Vista). The download is quite large, around 6 GB, but for those who can't wait to see C# 3.0 in a safe environment it may be worth it

You can download it from here: Microsoft Download Page

The download page also has a full feature list, installation instructions and specifications.
