I found this on digg here:
http://digg.com/deals/Free_USB_Drive_-_Microsoft


But apparently MS is giving away free flash drives loaded with faqs about licensing windows. I know you are all so excited about the faqs but hey its a free flash drive. Never know when it could come in handy and you cant beat the price.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that there is a crocodile! ohmy.gif

Be careful. Keep an eye out. biggrin.gif

I just did the Free USB thingy. If I get it in 6-8 weeks then it worked. If not, then it was a scam. What's the new moto Eldammen? "You don't know until you try" wink.gif

Maybe it is just for companies, since it asks "Company/Organization Name".
If I write Free Software Foundation, they'll send a bomb! biggrin.gif

They also ask phone number, I dont like that!

"*This offer is available in the U.S. only while supplies last. Limit one per customer. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery."

Bastards, im not amerikkan, and I saw this after I signed up.
They couldnt put that with a larger text?

The supply, I bet it is like 15 usb drives. They just want personal information like street address and name where people live. I knew I shouldnt trust Microsoft!
Damn Crocodile!!

Yeah. That part didn't bother me so much because MS has my number because I call all the time.

Do you mean to tell me there are cheaters out there who don't have a valid key? My God, what next? OSX? Ubantu? I am taken aback. However: If I cheated, I sure as hell would not advertise it.

Gunner...(my first friend here) wink.gif ...of course there aren't those who don't have a valid key. How could you purpose such a preposterous idea? laugh.gif "E" is just pullin' our chains (right E? wink.gif )
