From what I read this isn't really free. They still charge you the tax for it or something... Refer to the digg comments.

#10.1 OAKside on 30 Nov 2006 - 10:20

Oh, no - TAX! Sounds like you hear what you want, merely spewed rumors.
That way you don't cry when you have to go (over)spend on Vista retail.
The only thing relating to tax is the W-9 you must fill out to get BOTH gifts.

Truth is the site is verified legit through multiple sources and MS itself.
What more can you want? But way before the verification the site was
decimated and the supply of gifts certainly ran out. Who knows how many
they had to give and they don't have any reason to reveal that, not while
still generating tons of traffic for whatever reason they wanted it to begin with.

As usual, once a great deal even begins to spread around the net kiss it goodbye.
The risk-takers and early birds got in, and I'd bet not too many more.
And congrats to MS for participating in some great upgrades and deals this release.

@Yagi - That's not called joking... it's called trolling.

NEway, it makes no difference - Microsoft does lots of these "US-only" promotions and almost never include other countries or offer anything comparable. It's pretty pathetic but we don't have much choice in the matter.

#11.6 Yagi on 30 Nov 2006 - 14:18

@theyarecomingforyou - It's not trolling if it's true. With all the legal issues with the EU over being a monopoly, you really think they'll make offers like this there when there is a huge potential for one company saying this is "anti-competitive"? No, it's smart for Microsoft not to offer this anywhere else, it saves themselves legal costs and potential rediculous fines.

@theyarecomingforyou - It's not trolling if it's true.

That's exactly my point, though... it's not true. These offers have been done for countless years, long before the EU took so much interest in Microsoft. They're not offering it to Canadians, Africans or any other nation so it is quite pathetic that you should use it as an excuse to bash the EU. Grow up.

#11.8 Yagi on 01 Dec 2006 - 20:58

The fact that they are giving away a product that took 5 years to develop and costs a few hundred dollars away to alot of people is great, plain and simple. So it's not offered to other countries, oh well, get over it.

hmm, I got excited and then I thought to myself...even for free I'm still not excited about Vista. Man, that's sad.

#12.1 phantasmorph on 30 Nov 2006 - 01:29

I feel the same way. I've registered, just because it's there, and free is free, but I could really care less.

#13 Yagi on 30 Nov 2006 - 00:45

Alright, I just did it and it appears to be really legit. The only thing is, DON'T RECIEVE BOTH PRODUCTS, CHOOSE ONE OR THE OTHER. Once you register and click Help you will read that at the end they will ask you for your ssn and have you fill out tax form because the "prize" value of both is over $600 and you will have to pay prize tax. SO in that case, it's not free. But if you only do one or the other, you will be fine.

I did the webcasts for Office 2007, I already have a copy of Vista, and have already recieved an email saying that I will recieve Office 2007 in 6-8 weeks and was never asked for my ssn or anything about tax information.

After you complete a webcast, it takes 24 hours for your completion of the offering to be validated in the system. If you completed the webcast, you will receive credit after it has been validated.

#29.1 StarSabers on 30 Nov 2006 - 03:38

If you don't know how to use DNS lookups for useful information, don't use it.

The DNS servers for Microsoft.com and this site both point to MSFT.NET. Why is this important? Because those servers will only give you IP addresses for the domains in it's DNS database (again check Microsoft.com, it has the same DNS server as this site). In other words, if you just point a random domain to MSFT.NET name servers, it won't work (especially not work giving you an actual domain you were wishing it would). DNS servers change domain names to IP addresses pretty much, and if the domain isn't in it's database, it's not going to give you the right IP address for the website.

The site's legit. Put it to rest.

Melbourne IT is actually the company Microsoft uses for domain registrations (so their domain registrar) for a long time now. But as Microsoft has recently been properly accredited by the ICANN to be a full registrar, this practice may cease to occur in the coming years (when their agreement with Melbourne IT ceases to operate).

#29.3 xxdesmus on 30 Nov 2006 - 13:27

Windows Vista shipments estimated at 90 million for first year

IDC today released first projections of Windows Vista's likely impact on the existing Windows market. The market research firm believes that 90 million units will be installed next year. But only the consumer market is expected to adopt Vista almost instantly, while businesses will wait at least until 2008 for a broad deployment.

Stupidity has run amok at Microsoft. While only 15K technical beta testers on Office 07 received a copy of RTM, after working though problems and debugging software for nine months, some smart guy decided I need to learn more about software I HELPED DEVELOPED in order to get a copy gratis. This will create a mess for the folks running this program at MS. Further, it seems like Microsoft has simply lost it manners.

I am 38 years old with a PHD and while back in Whistler days, MS gave a copy to all who made a serious effort on the program. Now they have newbie tester convinced that they don't deserve anything for their time and effort. Not so and even Symantec is still giving away software. It has always seemed like a fair deal-my time and effort for free and I get the software at day's end.

Microsoft forgot long ago that a great number of people help them get their software to market-many do not even work for MS.

This is what it says on the site:

We're sorry, there are no more gifts available. There are still plenty of things to explore and to learn about Windows Vista. Enter now to learn more!

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

I took this to mean that if you had already registered and selected/viewed then you were still ok EVEN if it said still pending. I have 1/3 completed and the other 2 still said "pending". They have been like this since about 10-11am CST.

I'm not sure where I sit.

Pending = up to 24 hours to have credit given for each one. You're not out of luck if you already registered.

Ahhhh good to hear I should be ok then.

You are out of luck if you try to register for vista and it wont let you.

I hope so i have four pending

#63 LBraasch on 01 Dec 2006 - 07:22

if you're pending you're fine. mine finalized after they closed the door on it. You guys are fairly bad at interpreting fine print...

Ohhhhh ok I see. It's a trick.

Anyways they are both sold out now. Oh well

Things like this goes away waay too fast... I'm sure people act on it as soon as they see this news. Both prizes are sold out as of right now. Congrats to you all who locked one for yourself.

EDIT: I'm sure there'll be a similar events for when Microsoft launches consumer editions of Vista.

Hey new question.. the website says -

Already Registered? If you have already registered for the Office Campaign, selected a gift and are eligible to receive the free gift, please continue to watch your webcasts and vlabs to complete the requirements for your free copy of Microsoft Office Professional 2007.

So I guess it's still good for us who registered and haven't watched the webcasts eh? Neat.

I am still blown away that Microsoft would be giving away almost $800 worth of product away like this. It's almost too good to be true. I am still waiting to get credit for my last webcast and I half expect the deal to somehow fall through. I was planning on buying Vista at some point but if I actually get it for free I'll be a very happy guy

Just got my email stating that they are shipping my Vista and Office product. Still states that it'll be 6-8 weeks after RTM. Also had to fill out a W-9 and fax it in or they won't send both products.
