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.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
