Free Micro$oft Stuff, Like XP Pro, Flight Sim 2k4, etc

[_=DeltaForce=_]

Just thought I might point out Micro$oft is giving out some stuff for free (XP Pro, Flight Sim 2k4, Wireless Optical Mouse, Multimedia Keyboard and Mouse Combo, etc) for taking some quizes and going through an online marketing training course.

if you work at a retail shop that sells microsoft you can check out retail.microsoft.com
i have gotten all sorts of stuff from them all for doing some stupid quizes

[djsusm]

very cool.. I can get another license of XP pro for my dad's company. Thanks!

Windows Moble Training is dead. I get a message that 20,000 users have signed up and they aren't accepting any new registrations until they remodel their site.

Also, the retail.microsoft.com won't register you unless you give them a retail Store number, manager name, department, etc.

Sucks

[UnReAL]

that's because this hit the other forums (FW and the like) a while ago.

I could only get 1350 points... Not even enough for XP pro


:| :censored:

[_=DeltaForce=_]

well then wait for more trainings or just get the wireless mouse or Encarta 2003 and Flight sim 2004...

I am waiting for more trainings....

Question -- :confused:

Did you put your regular work company for the registration? My company throws a lot of money at M$ for mobile licenses, so they do kinda owe us :P

What'd you put?

I put in my "fake" company name.....

Okay... so with so many people who got in on this, would you be safe and get the mouse, or wait for more lessons and chance it that they'd realize they can't offer any more?

[_=DeltaForce=_]

well I sent an email to them and got a reply... THey told me that new stuff will be added in a month... I created like 5 accounts... Just to be safe

[Jcranmer]

Thanks guys!



Just picked up the mouse and flight sim. The only other thing I would have even been interested in would have been the keyboard, but since I didn't have enough for it yet, I thought it safer to cash out. :)

[_=DeltaForce=_]

I got all the things and got all the bonus questions... THe highest points available are 1400... Microsoft is smart but cheap, They dont want to give away XP pro and Office XP. SO I guess we are stuck with the mouse, encarta 2003 and Flight sim 2004...

[Jcranmer]

Agreed. Although I hurried though a couple of the "lessons" and missed a few along the way. I ended up with like 1375 or something. Still everyone can use an extra mouse or 2. :)

[neo_rags]

I picked up a mouse and still have 50 points left - another 350 and the Flight Sim will be mine :D

Thanks for the post Delta!

[_=DeltaForce=_]

np... I still want the freakin XP pro.. GOt 1400 points...

Crap, I spent an hour doing the new lessons today and got up to 1690 points, enough for Windows XP Pro :(

[Molinak Sun]

the most simplest one is to do # 3.. thats if you know how or where to get an anonymous E-mailer program :rolleyes: ... not that i'm suggesting it or anything.

[_=DeltaForce=_]

I ordered windows XP pro.... Got 1690 points..

Oh I know there are way's around it. Frankly it's just not worth the hassel though. Oh well, no big deal, that's the way deals come and go on the 'net. :)

Do you work at one of those stores? If not, how did they let you order it?
