    I remember seeing a thread that some have recieved their gifts for signing up for the WFP program, but can't seem to find it.
    So I'm just curious, who has recieved their gifts already?
    I signed up 2 weeks ago and haven't recieved it yet, although they say you have to complete the program first. But I seem to remember some others got theirs before finishing. :)

    That program was for three months. Not to mention they stopped giving the gift after a certain sign-up date, so you need to check and see if you are going to get it at all.

    Yes I am, I signed up the day before the free gift offer ended. :)
    I'm still just curious, who has gotten their gifts yet. :)

    I signed up soon after it was posted. I still haven't been notified of any gift or shipment from Microsoft yet. :(

    It's been a little more than 2 weeks since I signed up, and I haven't even recieved my first survey yet. :( (did the one when you sign up though).

    i got mine about a week ago. I must have signed onto the program about a month ago, so you might still get yours.

    Is it too late? Think they will offer a complementary gift os and OS or Office for folks that sign up now? Maybe thank you after completion?

    No, the offer has ended. May be they will offer something like this in a year.
