I completely agree this isn't a Microsoft 'error', but for those feeling a bit annoyed and in response to comments on their reputation, here's an example of Microsoft's "professionalism" from a few years back.

Bill Gates' last day as an employee today, incidentally. Maybe we should all post him cake.

"Well we've looked into it and it seems there was a bug in the system that generated a lot of faulty prize wins. Many of these wins haven't logged properly in the database, so the exact number is impossible to tell.

The ones that have been logged properly will be honoured as genuine prize wins, but we can't do anything with the others because of transmission errors caused by the bug.

This scenario is covered in the T&Cs, and hopefully anyone effected by it will keep playing and understand that sometimes when working with computer competitions with millions of users, these glitches can happen"
