QUOTE but really microsoft only does things to advantage themselves.. maybe they are thinking that the chinese are a big threat to microsoft and that they must overthrow them now before it's too late Where'd you get that idea? What makes you say that Microsoft thinks the Chinese are a threat? Obviously Microsoft does things only to it's advantage ... who doesn't?

Woohoo - mine's ordered. If I don't get to the P.O. Box before my Mom does, she'll probably take it from me. *grins* I'd better be fast, huh?

Heh. This is the first time in a good long while that Microsoft's surprised me in a good way. Lately, it seems as if almost all of their surprises have been bad. Apparently, there is life after death. =^^=
A pity that the offer appears good only for the U.S. Although... if it's only for the U.S., I wonder why the country field in the sign up form includes other countries in the dropdown? Eh, but who cares? It's a free USB drive, after all. =^^= |

Did somebody already received this USB disk ? Were you successful erasing it ?
I have an USB disk and I have a program allowin me to make it read-only. Also, maybe the microsoft USB Thmb drive is also a readonly one. I thing readonly chips are rather cheap if you burn them in huge series, so maybe it's not a fully read-write device. |

I am from Belgium, and I did give it a try.... LOL. I've done so in the past. I mean, once we tried this thing in class to apply for promotional packages everywhere. I got all kinds of stuff, going from free diapers to t=shirts, caps etc. (random companies were emailed.)
I did the same to microsoft (just like everyone else in my class); I got 30 pens, keyhangers and loads of them. 3 t-shirts, 3 caps and 2 mouse mats and uhm wrist thingies (still don't know what exactly they were). A friend in my group got one mouse mat more, and I reapplied.. I got even more! (mind you I said I never received the first package.) |

Wow it looks like a really good offer. Pity I'm in Australia and can't get it as it's for people in the US only. But still...
I suppose it's a good innovative method to get people to check out their liscencing details but what's the bet that the majority of people simply get there pen drive and then erase the documents and use it for their own use... Anyway... keep trying Microsoft... Maybe one day someone'll reald your lisencing details! |

Idilled out the form a little after this was first posted and now it is almost June and still nothing from Microsoft. I think they said to wait about 6 weeks, well I think it is real close, so maybe it will arrive, but I am not holding my breath for it. I do live in the the Unstied States so it should be sent, at least if they have that many of them.
