sucks that the Keyboard and mouse set aint available in the UK, that woulda been cool

[MackDiesel2010]

After finishing a test, no points are added. WTF?

[mzkhadir]

As I've already stated. I don't think it is fradulent because Microsoft can use their disgretion on whether or not to send a copy to someone as they have made it open to anyone who has a .Net Passport account (read: hotmail or msn email account). I made it completely obvious that I was a student and didn't work for a company.

Ask yourself, how many people on this forum work for the company they are supposedly working for, just to get the free stuff.

[L3thal Veteran]

I'd put student, your address and send it to them. In other words just be honest.

Well, once I can actually log into .NET passport, I will do that. To be sure, contact us is at the bottom of the main page, correct?

[VGVL]

Awesome. I ordered two of those cool Swiss Army knives. :cool:

Now I am left with 350 points. Anything useful I can do with them?

[digitalslacker]

i went throught the tutorial and answered them correctly

hmmm

I guess you can stare at them and wait to see if somehow they go up :yes:

Exactly. Has it ever crossed your minds that if you say you work for like Best Buy, don't you think Microsoft will try to confirm that you work there, or send them something to say you completed training?

[Kheldar]

ok bummed, Uk user - 1500 points - no final test - only crap games and a basecall cap (or knitted one ...) did I miss something?

Training all complete - no failures

No "All test" on front page

No sign of anything XP related

:(

For some reason, the .NET passport log in doesn't work. At all.

[mzkhadir]

Yes, I know they do that for their retail training. I don't know if they do that for windows mobile training.

[L3thal Veteran]

Same here. We are flooding their servers :rofl:

[Ultomato]

is the keyboard and mouse combo wireless?

[L3thal Veteran]

^I think it is, which is why I chose XP Pro.

[j0sh]

yay! i ordered my copy of XP Pro. :woot:

Guess it's time to either change over from XP Home or I'll just put this on my old lappy.

[Ultomato]

hmm... why would i need pro if i already have it...

i think im gonna get the swiss army knife and flight sim

[QuarterSwede]

Yes, I know they do that for their retail training. I don't know if they do that for windows mobile training.

It isn't my fault they don't post anywhere on the site excpet for in the FAQ (and who is going to read it anyway) that you need to be working for a company to get the rewards. Even when you register it allows you to put in any new company in the field, complete all of the quizes and order any rewards you have points for. If they want to make this ONLY for those who work for a company that deals with these products then they need to not allow the general public to login. I mean, come on, they do that for everything else Microsoft! (ie. Windows Beta, etc.).

Also, I specifically said on the post that if any mod felt that this was in violation of the rules then to lock and delete the thread. It is up to them not me.

[Ultomato]

u think we can get more pts

There is no XP Pro for UK users. XP Pro isn't listed in the main post in the UK Rewards list for a reason.

[L3thal Veteran]

First off, lets hope we are even eligible for this before you ask for more points ;)

I said I worked for Costco... which isn't that much of a lie since I worked there 3 years ago :whistle:

[Max Veteran]

I cannot find the main test......Did someone say they removed it?

[Kheldar]

There is no XP Pro for UK users.  XP Pro isn't listed in the main post in the UK Rewards list for a reason.

Thanks, didnt read properly, ah well, lame cap and encarta for me then :) Can't see the mouse and it doesnt seem to want to scroll any more than the knitted job though ?

Never mind - zooming in shows it for me (stoopid firefox I guess :p)
