Found this interesting tid bit from life hacker, MicroSoft is handing out free versions of Windows Vista, sorta… If you are willing to give up your privacy and sell your soul to the Bill Gates hell imporium, you can get a free copy of windows vista. No questions asked. Well besides the questionnaire and the contstant monitoring of your web usage. So if your personal liberties are of no importance and free shit is what gets you going, sign up and save 400 bucks. Benjamin Franklin would be dissapointed in you, but your mother would be proud.
Life Hacker Article:Â
Snag yourself a free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate, Office 2007, or Microsoft Money Plus before December 31st by participating in Microsoft’s Windows Feedback Program. Here’s the catch: you must agree to letting MS peer over your shoulder and watch how you use your computer for three months with automated feedback software, and answer survey questions about your computer use, so the ‘soft can help make their ‘ware better. Your privacy for software that retails for up to $400 might not sound like a good deal to some. But, if you opt for the survey feedback, you control how you answer the questions (though it’ll be more work than the automated program.)Â You must do BOTH the survey and the automated over-the-shoulder-peering ware to get the goods. Thanks, TheTick!
