MS Technet subscription $249 + tax for 15 months

[XBoxLPU]

I sent Tech support an email when I had problems and couldn't order. Here was there reply:

Thank you for your email regarding the TechNet plus Consumer Service Professional Pilot subscription.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you. We have researched the information you have provided. The link was intended for the exclusive purpose of providing our designated survey participants with a 5 Month TechNet plus Direct subscription, and was somehow posted to the public domain. Those participants will get a free 5 Month subscription and will be participating in an exhaustive series of surveys during the subscription year. We already have the number of participants added, and there is no room for additional participants. Only participants in the survey are entitled to the free Subscription.

Thank you for contacting Microsoft.

So no homework for now?

 

[KeypoX]

either there is maintenance right now or im out . Damn it i thought i had a free windows 7.

 

[ahenkel]

I doubt its maintenance. I followed the survey and got accepted and even started doing the homework and I can't access anything anymore. No big deal can't decide what to do with the keys I got though. (not sell just for personal use)

TechNet Plus Pilot Program




TechNet Plus is temporarily offline for the pilot program.
Thank you all for your wonderful interest and energy around the TechNet Plus Pilot Study. We have halted recruiting for the TechNet Plus pilot program after having reached our quotas for all intended markets. Unfortunately, one of the study participants posted the TechNet Plus registration link on a public blog in direct violation of the terms and conditions agreed to at the start of the study and for membership in ITAC.

The TechNet Plus links have been deactivated. The TechNet Plus site is currently offline for pilot participants while we mitigate the issues resulting from this situation. Please bear with us.

We need to remind everyone on ITAC and in the TechNet Plus study that participation in the portal and the various research studies/pilot programs launched on ITAC is governed by terms and conditions that prevent the sharing of proprietary study information with outside entities. All of you are privy to private, non-public and proprietary information while on ITAC and we are sorry to say that sharing information presented to you by Intrepid or our clients, is in violation of the agreements that each one of you signed upon entering.

Again, we are grateful for everyone's participation and enthusiasm, this situation has just served as a reminder to us all.

Kindest Regards,

Intrepid ITAC Team
