what are the chances we can erase that "valuable information"?

[MikeD]

I'm betting Microsoft will come thru. Thanks for the link!

[marckuh]

I was wondering the same thing....we were able to do it with those drives we got from IBM.

[brainsmile]

how big is the drive?

[pd123]

how big is the drive?About 3 inches.

[BigJon]

Now lets not hope it is loaded with information that cannot be wiped from it's memory...anybody hear of companies doing this to their "free drives"?

[wung]

About 3 inches.

haha, i don't know why, but i laughed out loud ...

[Jeffbx]

Good find - still up & running this morning!

[nickel]

what's the chance that this USB Key is loaded with an autorun to check licenses on currently installed software??

not that i have anything to worry about. :P

[Foundation]

I was thinking the same thing, Nickel. Heh..

:hihi:

[ProMinx]

Hmm...that whole license check would be something of a problem on my Vista system... Haha. Note to self: do not let the test system and fusb key meet :boxing:

[oogeooge]

many thanks!

Thank you for your interest in the Mystery Solved Windows® licensing promotion. We've received your request for more information to help clarify Microsoft® Windows Desktop Licensing pre-loaded on the USB drive. Unfortunately, this Mystery Solved promotion was available in the U.S. only and while supplies last. Supply is depleted at this time, so we encourage you to please utilize the online alternative today.

So is that why I never got mine?

Damn Microshaft. Opressing the guy who's trying to take advantage of them...

[mechmike0034]

BOO!!!

Me, too - got that same note today...:cry:

[SKinAZ]

Bummer. Seems like Microsoft could have told us back in March that they had more takers than USB drives.

[nojoke007]

Anyone not get that USB drive from Dell?

[oogeooge]

i haven't gotten mine yet

[Cheesypuff]

I actually got an email from them saying they're sorry they didn't have anymore usb drives. and in the email...they gave a link to the program that would have been included with the free drive.


edit: should have read the previous posts...crap.
