In December Aspose team ran a sweepstake on Facebook; in January it had a grand prize draw. The winner of the sweepstake prize, an iPad 2, was Michael Sevast. Michael was much surprised to find that he had won but also had kind words to say about Aspose: “We have used the Apose.Total for .NET components, for several years now. These tools greatly simplify the ability to interact with and export to known Microsoft formats. The speed of these components saves  considerable time over custom in-house solutions."
