i got email saying

Thanks for registering to participate in our Microsoft Windows Vista Webcast Series. Below, you will find a summary of the Webcast(s) you've registered for.

is this what you get cause i've watched 3 and they're completed now i have this email is it the confirm your vista is on the way ?

has anyone gotten confirmation that they'll definately be receiving office or vista?

No, nothing yet. Although I did get some surveys in my inbox. I suspect they are optional, never on the site does it say its required.

I do hope we get a confirmation email. I would hate to be left in suspense for 6-8 weeks.

I cant get it load any more but all mine were completed a few days ago and it gave me the congrats message. I got several emails asking me to rate my webcast and did just to be safe :). But still no email saying whether I get it or not :(, although it never said they would send one did it? So maybe we just have to wait about 6-8 weeks to find out if we get it? lol.

woot!

Once they confirmed that you meet the eligibility requirements, you should get a email with a link to a secure site asking for tax information. Once you give that, they should send the gift.

You got one? I thought we only had to do the tax stuff if we did both Vista and Office...

That's what I thought. I only completed the Office 2007 offer, but I still haven't received any sort of confirmation e-mail. I got a few e-mails with links to surveys, and one e-mail thanking me for registering, but that's about it.

Same here, I have a feeling that since so many people did it in such a short period of time it'll take a week or so to get a confirmation email.

I thought we only needed Tax info if we got both of them not if we only got one?

    • I've been using MWB Premium for a number of years so that along with Windows updates and updated browser should be fine. Thanks for that.
    • For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.
    • So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
