Give up your privacy, get cool loot!
by Bart on Dec.11, 2007, under Tech Deals
Want a free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate direct from Microsoft, no piracy required? Don’t care about your privacy? Have I got a deal for you! Microsoft is offering up free copies of Vista Ultimate, Office Ultimate, Money Plus Premium, Student with Encarta Premium and Streets and Trips, all for free. All you’ve gotta do is allow them to track your every move for a few months.
Yes, Microsoft is looking for people to help test its new “Windows Feedback Program,” and isn’t afraid to reel people in with bribes. You’ll have all of your computer usage tracked for three months, and you’ll also need to submit to surveys every two weeks.
I personally don’t WANT Vista, even for free, and more than that, the thought of Microsoft seeing all is a bit worrisome, so I won’t be joining in, but… Maybe you don’t mind.
There’s also nothing in the rules that says you can’t install this on a secondary computer, but you do only get to select one of the mentioned items for this “promotion”. Not bad loot, really.
