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.

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
