Get Office Ultimate or Vista Ultimate for free!

Only US residents....I want globalism

 

lol i hate contests that are only open to the US Residents xD i might've been in Scott's shoes and won that notebook..or vista ultimate..lol

 

I want something EU residents only.

 

LOL @ poor outsiders

 

So, by letting Microsoft spy on you indefinitely, you get a free program?

 

So, if you enroll in this program you get a free copy of Vista Ultimate?

 

idk about this. if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.

 

You need a copy of windows vista to start with though...?

 

Fine...I registered and took the 15 minute initial survey....what next ?

 

i was reading the rules..it didnt say ANYTHING about giving anything away for free though..did i misread something?

 

You have to sign up for the automated feedback program. From the second page on the site: "By signing up for both programs, you are eligible for a free product."

To those who doubt the veracity, MS did something similar before Vista launched. They had business users watch 4 webcasts and gave them the option of Office 2007 or Vista Business. That's how I got my copy of Vista.

 

I think its legit, I was about to sign up, but I don't really need any of those, and would just as soon not run extra software for 3 months. I have Office 2007 Enterprise, and Vista Ultimate, so no big deal to me that I can get them free (I have them free from my University).

 

They do give out stuff from time to time. I got Visual Studio 2005 Standard free for looking at 2 webcasts.

 

So I guess for those of us that are running XP are pretty much screwed... nice.

 

"4. Download and install the software on your Windows Vista computer if you are joining the automated feedback program."

 

Bah, that was a breeze.

I do 8-15 surveys a day as my "part-time" job. It's basically written in the same code.

Can't wait until I get my free Windows Vista (32/64-bit) disk...

 

just joined... Let's hope that Microsoft keeps its word.

 

i fig i dont have anything to lose so i joined. do they keep track of how long we have been enrolled and send us our product after 3 months?

 

Yep, thats what it says. 3 months of (hopefully safe) data mining and then you get a fee product.

 

Darn!!! I need two computers running vista...I only have one

 

not sure i want microsoft having access to my stuff for 3 months

 

Does U.S. resident mean, that I need to be a U.S. citizen or is it enough to live within the US?

 

Jorlin, I would think just a resident...having a U.S. address. They won't run down your immigrations status or check Visa's

 

well i just did everything...i hope this isn't a scam because i was going to get home premium from basic but if i can get this then i can wait

 

@theZoid: I enrolled and I guess you do not get a confirmation that everything is ok but the fact that you download the feedback tool.
I went for office ultimate since I got Vista Ultimate already... and the german language pack is quite cheap

 

I am not going to keep dreaming about the free office ultimate 2007 (which I like) for 3 months. I took the survey, but after that decided not to download the tool.

 

I just got vista ultimate 64 and 32 bit discs in the mail!!!!

 

How long were you enrolled in the program? It looks like most of us have to wait 3 months.

 

I'm still wondering this too

 

I mean, I'll definitely fulfill my part and finish the program, but it would be nice if I get my gift a little early.

 

since the beginning of november.. about a month and a half...AND i only used my computer for about a week after enrrolling

 

Sweet, congrats !

I've been on the program since the last of November right before the cutoff. I have some questions for those who have been on the program for a while.

1) Is it true once you are on the Windows Feedback Program, Microsoft will automatically contact you for future surveys and gifts?

2) Since my initial enrollment I took the first survey and haven't seen anything since. How many surveys did they send you to respond?

 

1. Yes. However there is no "gift s".
2. 1

 

Thanks !

How long did you have to wait for the next survey? It's been three weeks now.

 

I haven't gotten my gift yet, but I did get an offer for buy one get one free Ultimate, which I gladly did since a friend got Vista Ultimate for Christmas

 

ya me too and it takes about a month or two. like i signed up then the OP made this thead and i just got it..!!!! I have a question tho i have a acer 5050 laptop and i was wondering if the wireless device has a 64bit driver i could use or the same one can be downloaded from acer website

 

yeah several weeks
don't worry about it.

 

Just get the driver from Intel's website.

 

Thanks !

Ooh one last question did Microsoft send you retail versions of Vista or was it OEM?

 

Retail I believe.

 

Thanks !

 

I just recieved my Office 07 disc!

 

Congrats!

Is it retail or OEM? How long were you on the program and how many surveys did you have to fill out?

 

Guys I swear Microsoft pulled the free gifts as they had too many people apply. It got posted on digg a month or two ago.

 

i got the retail ultimate 32 and 64 bit versions last week from them

 

Oh well, still have XP...

 

UPDATE: Somehow I scored Vista Ultimate AND Office Ultimate.

I was in the program for 2 months (if that) and filled out one survey other than the intro.

Who says you can't get something for [close to] nothing?

 

The day I posted the link, I joined. It is the Academic version. I am now trying to sell it on amazon.com and buy the Home and Student Version. This one has so many programs that I will never use.

 

Anyone know if the promotion is still going?
The feedback program is still good, but it doesn't say anything about free software.
