I wanted that. I'm not in US. I'm sad.

No cheers,

 

Yea.. It's too bad US only. I'm in Taiwan right now, but I travel back and forth will pick it up later.

 

Thanks! Could I put in anything fo company?

 

sure can.

 

I can't wait!

 

cool! that was easy! thanks for the link!

 

sweet find!

 

Awesome find! That was almost too simple

 

I don't think I would of answered all right with my history of tests...

I actually looked at it three times for I submitted it... lol

 

haha, I actually work for a company that does microsoft licensing. yup, we need more information.

 

Nice find...6 people did it from me.

 

Exactly!...I wonder if the USB key has some kind of code to detect pirated Microsoft software in yuor computer...mmmm.

 

mount it under linux and whipe it first if you're concerned. so long as you have a livecd, you could do that.

 

Or first use it on a school/work computer or something like that and then wipe it...

Hmmm... to think of it.... you think Microsoft made it permanently write-protected? is that even possible? hmmm..

 

Heh. I always find it funny how true/false questions tend to be invariably weighted to true. It's much easier to come up with a true statement than a false plausible one.

 

I live in england, and when I ordered it (with my UK address), it still told me that I should be recieving the key within 6-8 weeks...weird huh? Do you think Ill still get it?

 

I just did it!

Now where's the Easy Button . ."That was easy".

 

This is an awesome deal. I posted it on another forum and about 10 people have signed up for their free USB drives. Thanks again for posting this (from me and everyone over at a3).

 

wow, this is awesome. Thanks!

 

what are the answers?

and company/ organization?

 

You can put in Anything...

 

pretty cool..hope it comes though

 

If no one found out, its a 16MB key

 

very nice find.

pb,out.

 

Well i didn't know anyone knew already, so i posted it

 

Dang... where did you find that out? I was hoping for at least a 64MB. But hey... It's 100% free.

 

I have my ways

 

i never new they made them that small...smallest i ever seen was a 32mb

 

I think the first one's that ever came out were 16MB's. However Microsoft says it's an "Unknown size". Nickspohn says it's 16MB's but I don't know where he got that info? I have googled it and didn't find anything.

 

Well, maybe Microsoft is just sending out leftover ones from companies who have overstocked keys. It could be that there are different sizes.

At least its free.

 

nickspohn used to work as a CIA agent, so he has his ways to obtain information

 

Thank you for requesting the Mystery Solved USB drive loaded with valuable information. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery.


to canada? worked ...I put my company as Sony =]

 

The link to the USB Key doesnt seem to be working...

 

If i would post the link where i found out...where would be the fun in that?

 

well nickspohn... not showing us a link makes us think your making it all up... j/k

 

Update: I received an email about a week or two ago. Microsoft ran out so I won't get it

 

Yea, I think the whole thing was a joke. Or perhaps they had like 10 keys to give out total. I asked over at slickdeals and out of the around 50 people that had responded, zero of them got a key.
