  |
|
You know it would be great to enroll and for 3 months searching linux on Google, writing stuff in Word about how Vista sucks, etc. I wonder if you get to keep the software after 3 months, or if its just to use over the 3 months.
http://wfp.microsoft.com/
Microsoft is offering the following free software for completing 10 Mins survey and then letting Microsoft monitor your PC usage for 3 months.
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate (32-bit and 64-bit DVD)
Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007
Microsoft Money Plus Premium
Microsoft Student with Encarta Premium 2008
Microsoft Streets and Trips 2008 |

 Might be worth putting on the kids system 
OO And night... it's that "no usage for 15 min" part that almost made me spit coffee on my monitor. |

I think they can bait me (maybe that's "BITE ME!)
I'll put it on my son's system (hopefully less pron, and longer breaks then knight0334 )
worth it for a trip to the "Microsoft store" (they know me by name by now, many usability test/beta test/contractor benifits  ) |

I know better than to sign up for ANYTHING free from M$ no matter how simple it may seem. These people are not to be trusted....
