Took about 20 minutes for the webcast email to finally arrive.

I think the server is flooded - Keep refreshing, and after about 5 minutes or so you should get an actual page, rather than the error. Make sure you use IE6 also - I'm using Firefox with the IE6 tab plugin.

The webcasts are an hour long...Heres a screenshot.

you do realize posting this on a site like neowin just reduces the chances that anyone will ever get anything. After being hammered by about 200,000 14 year olds, i'm pretty sure you'll be lucky to get anything at all.

I hope they strictly enforce the eligibility requirements.

Thats exactly why I did not post it anywhere when I found out about this yesterday. ;)

:angry: I keep getting "Sorry, a System Error Occurred" every time I try to register. Grrr...

Here's another rant: It requires Internet Explorer! :crazy: When will Microsoft learn, their stupid little browser isn't the own one in the world. Grrrrrrrr......

somehow I was able to register.. but in the help page it says:

If you are not signed-in, click the "Sign In" button in the Top Left of the Home Page.

Once signed-in, click the "My Events" link in the Top Left.

This will take you to a page listing all your webcasts and allow you to view or schedule

But problem is I dont have any link called "My Events" but I have a link called "Your Stuff". Does anyone else have something like this?.

Your Stuff is where your selections are.

I know this is my first post but I felt compelled-

I just spoke with MS within the half hour to ask about this site and they told me that they have already got several calls about this.

according to the MS rep who checked this for me this is a SCAM site.

they told me to not use it it is not legitimate.............

Dude. . Just do a DNS on the site.. its not a scam, its legit.

THIS IS A SCAM why would MS ask you to fill out a W9 form online- no legit offer wouid ask for that info....

call MS at 1-800-642-7676

I just did again and they said that site is not legit

call them yourself........ :cry:

LOL

Trying to stop people from exploiting this? :p

I have participated in several of these offers and they always ask you in one way or another about W9 information, it's for tax purposes.

    • 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

    • Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
