"But you'll never find it using old Firefox...If you want a serious shot at the ten grand, upgrade your browser to Internet Explorer 8 now. Then follow @tengrand_IE8 on Twitter for daily clues that point you to the buried loot." So, anyone gonna give it a shot now? (Aussies only, unfortunately)

Notice it's at microsoft.com - legitimate!

I'd love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.

Hrmm...site came down in the last hour...odd. Terms and conditions are still up here but the main competition page is gone. In case the site doesn't make it back, the whole purpose is for Aussies to point their browser at this site, which is only compatible with IE8. That is, unless you change your user agent which yields some interesting results. :)
