Free good stuff from MS for taking a LOOOONG! survey

[VezZiE]

Could anybody who has or just completed the survey, list the 'free gift' ?
Therefore other member who don't actually need the gifts just passed the deal and move on hunting HOT deals..

I remember taking a long survey about Microsoft Office back before Office 2000 was released, and after completing it, you could choose to recieve either a full copy of Office 2000 or pick 2 microsoft products to choose from. And i did recieve Windows 98 SE and Encarta out of it

I can tell you from personal experience that this is a waste of time and MS is NOT the fulfillment company for the "promised" free MS gifts. I filled out the survey last February after attending a MS TS2 event in my local area. For four months all I received was followup emails from the company conducting the survey telling me I needed to complete another survery before they could send me the free MS product that I selected. After completing three additional surveys, I gave up and forward the request for the fouth survey to MS telling that they were defrauding customers by promising customers free gifts for their feeback and then never sending the promised gifts. I received a reply about a week later apologizing for the mixup and MS assured me that they had contacted the fulfillment company and my promised copy of Visos 2002 would arrive within a week. A week later I received an email fom the fullfillment company stating that the promotion was over and they did not have any of the MS promotional software titles available. I forwarded the email to MS, but to date have not received a response. This is not like MS as they usually run the best customer promos. None of the five other people in our firm who also filled out the initial survey have ever received their promised MS software selection as well.

Ya know, I here what your saying but for some reason I couldn't resists signing up anyways. I think they have me under a spell.

This is a very good deal. Kind of reminds of the old time share deals, where you spend three hours looking at properities and hearing a sales pitch to get something cool at the end of it all.

Perhaps, but the next one might.

The RIAA/MPAA have been trying to slip one by the Average Joe by tacking on their riders to various bills.

If you've been paying attention, you'll already know about their attempt to make hacking your PC, by them, absolutely legal and free of consequence regardless of any damage they do.

Fun, hmm?

Yea, but did you see that HP has threated to sue someone using DCMA that posted a bug on securityfocus about an exploit in True64 unix? That is very scary and an obvious abuse of the intent of DCMA.

And a man named McCain said let's get rid of the lobby business in Washington DC, and the people were not interested.
Not gonna happen in that form. If anything they will get down to just a ban on mp3 file sharing (what they want in the first place) being banned and drop the rest so it does not seem so bad.
We should never vote someone back in office a second time. By then they have too many I.O.U's to big money. All they do is open their hand, take the money, and pass what ever the money wants.
