I found this on digg here:
http://digg.com/deal...ive_-_Microsoft


But apparently MS is giving away free flash drives loaded with faqs about licensing windows. I know you are all so excited about the faqs but hey its a free flash drive. Never know when it could come in handy and you cant beat the price.

Just click the usb drive button and take the 4 question test thing.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that there is a crocodile!

Be careful. Keep an eye out.

I just did the Free USB thingy. If I get it in 6-8 weeks then it worked. If not, then it was a scam. What's the new moto Eldammen? "You don't know until you try"

Maybe it is just for companies, since it asks "Company/Organization Name".
If I write Free Software Foundation, they'll send a bomb!

They also ask phone number, I dont like that!

"*This offer is available in the U.S. only while supplies last. Limit one per customer. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery."

Bastards, im not amerikkan, and I saw this after I signed up.
They couldnt put that with a larger text?

The supply, I bet it is like 15 usb drives. They just want personal information like street address and name where people live. I knew I shouldnt trust Microsoft!
Damn Crocodile!!

Lie. They don't know.

Probably

Yeah. That part didn't bother me so much because MS has my number because I call all the time.

Seriously? They asked you for your license key? They have never asked me.

Do you mean to tell me there are cheaters out there who don't have a valid key? My God, what next? OSX? Ubantu? I am taken aback. However: If I cheated, I sure as hell would not advertise it.

Gunner...(my first friend here) ...of course there aren't those who don't have a valid key. How could you purpose such a preposterous idea? "E" is just pullin' our chains (right E? )

Good Times - K
