Ok, that is really funny. To anyone who bought this ruse, I have two incredible deals for you:

Swampland in Louisiana, just overflowing with crude oil reserves and gold mines ... anyone interested, only $50 per acre!!! Approximately 100,000 available. Oh, there are vicious man-eating alligators and a billion mosquitos too, but you can harvest them for their skins and catch the bugs for medical research respectively and make tons more $$$$$$ I did this and made $35,768 extra profit the first year, and got appointed the the board at Pfizer drug Co. too! The second deal is the Brooklyn Bridge, I inherited it from my great grandad Rockefeller and can't use it anymore, so don't tell too many people but I'd let it go for a mere $200,000 ... less than the cost of most homes, a true piece of American history! Open your wallets, O patriots, and share in the glorious past of our great nation! Invest in its future now!

You know what, the peope who signed up for this ARE THE REASON SPAM EMAILS EXIST! Without them, no one would buy the junk being advertised!

Where can you get this deal? I can certainly use some crawfish for cooking, and alligators for boots.

 

Site's getting swamped.

MS is asking some sites to remove this info. I got in before the site was swamped. I answered about 2 questions plus my name and address. If I get XP Pro, I'll be floored. Not counting on it, but you never know.

 

[Nutzo]

Site worked fine for me, plus may of the question actually applied :Q

Hope I get my XP Pro....

 

[Foghorn]

i feel pretty illiterate after reading through this....

 

[InuYasha]

on their website, it says "THIS SURVEY IS CLOSED!!!!!". Dead already.

 

[hallf]

Did this survey the last time it was posted - seems like it was at least 8 weeks - and got nothing, no email saying they ran out, no software...nothing :disgust:

 

[Doomer]

I got 2 free copies of Win2k doing deals like this. I'm optimistic about this one.

 

[RevolutionNeo]

Perhaps it is legit.

This was posted at FW.......

Nancy from Microsoft here - The survey has been closed for a few days.

Unfortunately, a closed Microsoft survey was wrongfully posted on many external ?deals? websites, such as ?slickdeals.net?, ?fatwallet.com?, and ?techbargains.com? without Microsoft?s knowledge.
The survey was taken out of context, in that the introductory information at the beginning of the survey was stripped off and people were directed straight to the questions.
This survey was only available while supplies lasted (and they are long gone), and to those who fit the profile below:

If you use or work with e-Business servers such as BizTalk, Commerce, Content Management Server, Site Server, or other e- Business products such as IBM WebSphere, BEA WebLogic, Interwoven, Blue Martini, etc, or line of business (LOB) applications like CRM, PeopleSoft, ERP, etc, we want to hear from you!

We would appreciate it if you would distribute this web survey to employees (developers, administrators, IT operations, business analysts, etc.) who are actually using or work with the above Microsoft e-Business Servers or similar products in your company.

The web survey links are below & it is important for the success of the survey to route these to the correct users as described below:

Developer Survey: Please forward this link to all developers who code against any of the e-Business products listed above. This might include junior or senior level developers, developer leads, system analysts, technical/application architects, system integrators, contractors, and/or consultants who develop integration (EAI) or B2B solutions, e-commerce or content-rich websites, corporate portals or similar e-business development tasks.

* Offer of free software good only until April 11, 2003 or while supplies last. Limit one gift per household. Please allow 6 ? 8 weeks for delivery.

And I just got this email tonight:

-------------------------------------------

Hello,

You recently participated in (or inquired about) a Microsoft online survey promotion from a website where the offer was posted without Microsoft?s permission and without complete entry information. Accordingly, we regret that we cannot accept your response as a submission that qualifies for the free software offer.

The promotion was designed for and open only to persons who, for business reasons, use or work with e-Business servers, such as Biz Talk, Commerce, Site, or Content Management Servers, or who use other e-business products such as IBM Websphere, BEA Weblogic, Interwoven, Blue Martini or line of business applications like CRM, People Soft and ERP. Those targeted for participation--a select group of professionals--were required to answer survey questions based on information that did not appear on the on the site from which you entered where only the survey questions were posted (e.g. slickdeals.net, fatwallet.com, techbargains.com and others). Inasmuch as you responded from an unauthorized site based on partial information, we cannot include you in the free software offer.

We regret the misunderstanding that his improper posting may have caused, but we can assure you it was completely the result of persons who acted without authority from Microsoft or any of its agents.

Very truly yours,

The Microsoft e-Business research team

I haven't gotten any emails yet saying yes or sorry you are out of luck.

Do you think I'll get my free software?

Does anybody have any recent info on this give away?

I tried not to be greedy and went for XP Home.

Not worth it for me. Good deal if you don't care about the above.
