Yes, they did it! Nizhny Novgorod team in the most powerful competition Vital
took second place in the most prestigious category of the competition Microsoft Imagine Cup 2009 - Software Design! We heartily congratulate the guys. The second team - Moscow SoundStreamers - was a little less lucky and they retired without getting on the short list.

We all just returned from the awards ceremony and we have literally 15-20 minutes to take a short interview from both teams.
From 02:00 MSK - live! Tomorrow night recording will be available here, in the same topic.

on the Microsoft student blog , and a detailed report in several parts can be found
on Dmitry Soshnikov’s blog .
UPD: the audio recording turned out to be unsuitable for publication, which is a pity :( So there will be just a transcript. Well, there, you see, the guys themselves will write something in a separate post.
