we?ll send you a 3-poster kit (75 posters total) entirely free of charge. (U.S. and Canada only)

That's a lot of posters!

Well since they have been unable to fix their products by throwing money at them, they might as well throw the money at the propaganda--er, marketing department.

I feel more secure already!

You FS/FT guys could always use them to wrap packages in if the backs are blank

Great idea! They would make great geeky wrapping paper!

You hang them up, but it takes forever for them to hang straight and then a week later they've crashed to the floor

I'd really like to know what OS you are using that is perfect right out of the box, never needs to get patched, and has no flaws? That would be a great system, but none exists!

10"x14" seems kind of small for a poster ...but hey it is something for nothing!

Thanks!

 

[Jzero]

I'll wallpaper my entire office with them. Thanks!

 

[Mksasquach]

Yeah, just about ordered them then I realized......what the hell am I going to do with 75 posters? First, they'll be a funny little novelty...then they'll be clutter than I keep meaning to toss out....then they'll just going to end up being another load to lug out on trash day....

Although the pull of free is strongggggggggggg

These will be great around campus! After the blaster, randex, and a few other bugs, these posters should be in every lab and dorm floor. Im sick of the internet going down because the overload of virus traffic, the posters probably won't do much, but its worth a shot, and free!.

Maybe i should hang them above the urinals in the dorm!

It's what to use when you can't afford Charmin. If don't like the absorbancy for that purpose, you can always use them as insulation.

Well, when I got my Apple ][c, I considered it to be perfect right out of the box. Since then, I've NEVER had to patch it, and it has NO flaws whatsoever.

 

[zodder]

75 is about right. That means I can jam one of these posters down each of my users throats.

 

[MongoX]

LMAO - that is exactly what i was thinking zodder.

Cool. Thank you.

[Davemeister]

too bad they're not holographic and turn into a blue-screen-of-death when viewed at a different angle.

 

[ianbergman]

ahhhh, nothing like leeching off the evil empire.

If only they had one with a picture of Special Ed from Crankyankers that says "DON'T OPEN ATTACHMENTS! YAAAAAAY!"

i just got this email from microsoft.

Dear XXX,



Thank you for requesting the free Microsoft Security Poster series. Unfortunately, due to unexpectedly high demand our supply of posters was quickly exhausted, so we will not be able to fulfill your request. However, Adobe Acrobat versions of each of the three posters are available for free download at http://www.microsoft.com/education/?ID=SecurityPosters.



Thank you again for your interest, and please accept our sincerest apologies.

Am I the only one thinking that the viruses pdf file would make a nice background for all those helpful users who caused me so much work the last week? If anyone knows of a bmp of this, it would be great. Could even enforce it with GP. It would work much better than sending them another email telling them not to open the files. They trash our help desks emails, but open attachments from an unknown origin.

 

[jm0ris0n]

haha You can screen capture it. Crop, and wa-laah! Instant BMP goodness
