[Dead - no new signups get gift] Windows Feedback Program ( Free VISTA, Office, or other product)

[buzter]

http://wfp.microsoft.com/

This is open to users of Vista or XP, and requires signing up for a survey program and a software install that collects data on how you use your computer. You have to participate for 3 months to get your 1 free gift (per person).

edit: indicated in title that the deal is "dead." New signups are not being given the option of choosing a gift.

Hmm, I have a secondary pc that sits around and does nothing most of the time. Sounds like a good place to install this monitoring stuff and let it monitor away for 3 months. I found nothing about how often the computer needed to be turned on or used to qualify...

Hm.. I'm not down for anything that's gonna monitor what I do on my PC, let alone by Microsoft.

I signed up. I have no problem with the data collection and I think the surveys are kinda fun. Besides, I wouldn't mind upgrading this puppy to Ultimate, or give my mother a copy should she find she dislikes XP Home on her new laptop and wants to move on.

WOW! Its been a while since I've been on Anandtech Forums and glad to see peeps giving this type of info for FREE! It's great to be back and thanks for the microsoft info, buzter. I'll be upgrading as soon as the 3 months are over.

 

[Phris]

Should I? Seems interesting enough, but I hope it's not another WGA. I wanted to reuse this license, anyway...

 

[gabemcg]

Hmm, think they care if I set it up on a virtual machine?

In for Ultimate, but I'm not sure why ... I have a copy of Home Premium that I haven't used yet.

I've got a free version of Vista Business that I haven't installed. Can't have too many FREE OS's laying around!
