I doubt they have ran out of every single prize at the exact same time, especially since it was mostly Microsoft stuff which they probably have huge warehouses of the stuff sitting around. I just redeemed all of my points for miles and I'm done with the site until they start running with more consistency.
There's a delay, but all mine have posted. I'm not minding these free miles a bit. Sure, EQMs would be dandy, but I'm not looking any horses in the mouth. Here's hoping MS doesn't mind sponsoring these miles into perpetuity.

If they did that, and I lived long enough, I'd get million-mile status with AA. That'd be cool. For now I have my sights set on 25K.

Here is something I posted back on 2/2 that addresses what I think about whether MS will keep this going.

I am starting to be concerned about my miles not posting to my account.
I have received miles twice - the first time to my AA and Delta accounts, and then just to my AA account (because that is all I redeemed). According to AA it last posted to my account on February 14, and this was for miles I had redeemed on January 29, through February 8. Since then nothing has shown up, and I have redeemed miles starting February 10. Assuming it really takes the 19 days to post to my account, the February 10 redemption is 9 days overdue - while others are less, or are not due yet. But still a fair bit are overdue.
All in all, I am owed another 9,000 miles on AA. I switched tactics today, and redeemed another 1,000 miles on Delta - I will see what happens with that. Currently I would prefer AA to Delta, but I can use Delta miles too, so it is not a problem to get Delta miles - I just prefer AA miles.
If I do not get my miles I will be unhappy, though since I have already gotten 6,000 on AA and 500 on Delta, I can't complain *too* much, since I have gotten a lot from the program. But like a true flyer talker I want more - and I have legitimately played these games myself - no bots, no having someone else play for me, etc.. And it has let me continue to earn and redeem, so I should get them, I hope.

I think you are reading too much into it. Noone has reported miles posted for that timeframe, so I am pretty sure it's just a delay in processing. I have miles outstanding for AA, AS, US, and DL. It does not seem to be specific to 1 airline or one account based on other posts. The only interesting detail is that I had some US post on 2/26 that I requested 2/18, while other airlines from as old as 2/8 have not.
They've set up something similar in Australia, called NineMSN Prize Rush. No FF miles, but some Travel Vouchers are up for grabs. Solely luck based though, I think.
I have just had in the last 4 hours, 6,000 AA miles from Live Search deposited into my AA account!!!
Yes, I was too paranoid. I should have had more trust.
But this is very nice. This means I have had deposited 12,000 AA miles, and 500 Delta, and I am currently still owed 3,000 AA miles and 1,000 Delta miles.
I can't complain about how they are giving me miles! (Well, OK, I can *always* complain - but I can't *reasonably* complain!)
I haven't been playing as much as I did at the beginning - I have been too busy, but this has made me more interested in playing again.
Still waiting for 2500 AA to post from 2/10 and 2/23, almost ready to order again. E-mailed CS re: deliquent miles from the 2/10 order tonight. Tickets were all deducted, got a confirm email on the 2nd order, but order history shows nada. Sounds like there's been widespread delays in these posting on AA. Has anyone have any AA miles show up in the last 2-3 weeks?
