Now if someone could tell me the main difference between Ultimate and business that would be great. I was going to order Technet later this week but if there isnt that much of a difference then Ill stick with the free biz. thanks

These types of things are legit. I remember back in 2000? I found this site where if you filled out a long ass survey you could pick a gift out of about 30 Microsoft items. I wasn't sure if was real but about a month later I got the gift I had requested (FrontPage 2000). I thought I was the coolest person in the world. I think I'll try to this.

Shame it's only for US residents.

Do they send you a dvd or let you download it?

"Please allow 6 - 8 weeks for shipment of your gift(s)."

That wording would make it sound like it gets shipped to you. Anyone know exactly what these webcasts are? I've heard of them but I've never been in one.

It's mainly focused at businesses, hence the Vista Business version. They are trying to get buisness owners to watch webcasts and think "Hey, we could really use that" and then go out and buy copies for all the computers in the office. So one free copy for 20 paid copies, works out pretty well for them.

Then again, this will just be passed around places like this where people only need one copy so they get their one free copy and never buy another copy.

Edit: Oh, and yes, assuming it's similar to previous deals, they will send you DVDs, but they wont be retail DVDs, so don't expect the fancy box and DVD.

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
