What better way to prepare for Valentine’s Day with our extended Windows Home Server community than to help us help you show the love for WHS! We’ve got a fun Valentine’s Day promo to announce to kick off the celebrating – thru everyone’s favorite…some Windows Home Server Stickers!

2009 has been a great year and we’re sure 2010 will be even better with the incredible combination of Windows Home Server and Windows 7 protecting, connecting and organizing everything in your digital life. Show off your love for Windows Home Server by letting us send you some of our favorite Home Server stickers including the tattoo, “Mommy book” cover, the blue house and the status houses.

So how do you get your stickers? Usually were all about technology and  e-mail, but this time we’re going OLD SCHOOL with snail mail to avoid keeping any information about you. Just send a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) to the address below. We’ll send you all four stickers pictured above and shred your original envelope.

Send me the WHS stickers!

15580 NE 31st St

Redmond, WA 98052

Make sure to include enough postage to return a sticker pack via U.S. mail. It’s less than one ounce, so a standard First Class stamp will do if you’re in the United States; enclose an envelope with International Reply Coupons (IRC) if you’re outside of the U.S. And be sure to send your envelope in soon — one per person please.
Microsoft will use your self-addressed stamped envelope to send you the offer materials.  We will not keep or maintain your contact information.

* We sadly don’t have an unlimited supply of these, so this offer is good only for the first 2,500 to respond. Limit one set of stickers per person. This offer is non-transferable and cannot be combined with any other offer.  This offer ends on Feb 28^th or while supplies last, and is not redeemable for cash.  Taxes, if any, are the sole responsibility of the recipient.  Any gift returned as non-deliverable will not be re-sent. Please allow 6 – 8 weeks for shipment of your stickers. Due to government gift and ethics laws, government employees (including military and employees of public education institutions) are not eligible to participate.

What was once considered a strange mashup of characters is now a lauded as a cult hit by many. Responding to fan clamoring for another big-budget Kingdom Hearts title, game director Tetsuya Nomura has confirmed that Kingdom Hearts 3 is on the cards. While not yet in development, Nomura says it is definitely being planned. Not exactly a bombshell, but reassuring to hear nonetheless:

Fans and partners alike are pressing us for it, so we’ll work to realize it as soon as possible.

Nomura gave no mention of which platforms it might appear on. As the last two main installments were home to the PS2, the PS3 looks like a safe bet at this point. However, given Square Enix’s newfound multiplatform focus this generation, we wouldn’t be surprised to see it hit 360 or Wii, either.
