I doubt it, right now their biggest expense is the shipping costs of gifts, making a cd, box and product key for them is pennies. Having to run through a check of each company to see if it exists is not really cost effective for them, if the amount of leachers get to the point where they are not seeing a benefit they would just stop giving out gifts.

Plus its microsoft, I am sure they are getting a business writeoff or something out of this.

I agree but I think they might do random checks or have it check if you use the same address or they might check custom companys.

If some one use Student and gets it then we know it is a random check.

...

And Frax ^^^ go into "My Profile" and then click on training. It will tell you which courses you didn't pass. (Someone hasn't read the other thread, tsk tsk! heh)

It's amazing how many people don't take the time to read. Thanks for offering a kind word, though LOC.

I hope you all are enjoying this.

Off topic: I'm not liking these new stars (under the avatars).

i'll probably end up getting nothing considering most of us put fake companies such as "student' or "home". i doubt that microsoft is going to take a random check on it, but instead just not send it to anyone that does have a "student" or "home" company name, but hey, if they do send it, then slap me silly can call me bananas! :D

hey jkrupa128

how did u do ur sig

meaning how did u get the neowin site in ur sig

Photoshop...If you look close, it is far from perfect. I just did a screen capture, resize, copy and paste, bada-bing bada-boom.

Had to cut and re-apply comic store guys' face...

I passed the "quiz" saturday evening, ordered my XP pro.......will I be ticked if I don't

get it, nope.........after all, it's free, only took about 20 minutes....in which I wasn't doing

anything anyway. Somehow I get the feeling on monday morning, when MS opens its doors

for business, they are going to look at how many free things they need to give away and say

WHOOPS.....somehow a bunch of people who weren't suppose to be on this website got on here,

registered, and took a test in which the law of averages didn't prevail. Hummmmm......better

check some of these "winners"......I would suspect that a bunch of people won't be getting

anything. No biggie......if some do, congrats! If the rest don't........don't be surprised.

:alien:

    • Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky      
    • Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
