Microsoft Offering Free Software Again

[garetjax]

Remember when everyone was talking about getting free Microsoft software like Office 2007 and Windows Vista? Well, here's your chance to do it if you missed the cut the first time around.

There are three restrictions, however:

1. You must be 18
2. You must live in the United States
3. You must be running Windows Vista

This offer ends tomorrow, November 7th, 2007. Here's the LINK. I don't have Vista so I'm out of luck. =(

If you are a Windows Vista user and decide to join both programs, we will send you a free Microsoft product when you participate in the program. Our website provides details about this offer, including the current list of product choices. Limit one gift per person. This offer is non-transferable. This offer expires on 11/07/2007, while supplies last, and is not redeemable for cash. Taxes, if any, are your sole responsibility.

Not to worry, I've got time. I'm not 18 yet either, but I'm taking the survey on my mom's behalf... Hope that counts... :P

Just finished the survey for my mom. I opted for the free copy of Vista Ultimate!

What are the options? Is it a disc copy with the serial or a simple upgrade? I might do this, but only if the product is worth MS collecting data more often then they do now.

It's either Vista Ultimate, Microsoft Office 2007, Encarta something-or-other, Microsoft Street Smarts something-or-other. You have to take the survey, then download a little cleint that sits in the background and sends data back to Microsoft for 3 months, then after that happens and Microsoft is fully satisfied, they send you your free software via mail. A real disc, not just a download or an upgrade.

Think they will care if I opt for everything under different family members names, going to different addresses
