Amit,

Why, oh why do they never offer anything like this for Europeans?

Does this link actually load for anyone else? It keeps timing out at the very end for me.

I was able to register early this morning. Minutes later, I received a confirmation email from Microsoft, with links to each of the webcasts I chose. I was able to view one of the webcasts already...

Hmm, for US only? I'm from Malaysia. :(
Well, hope that who could grab one of that can put it up in a torrent or share it up!

The site looks like a phishing attempt, if you look at who the domain is registered to. Also, a Microsoft site wouldn't likely have as much trouble with the heavy load this site is now apparently getting.

This is just another publicity stunt by ms(though they don't at all need any publicity...pirates are there to do that for them who have more aceess to ms users than radmond's marketing division!). some two months back they were distributing free vista dvd to those who answered all 10 questions correctly in a questionare related to their much awaited vista. I answered all the questions(thanks Amit for providing links to cheat sheet :))....and then I signed up many nasty forms provided by ms site.......and then....nothing...I waited for the vista dvd.......and then suddenly I realized that what a fool i was to expect from ms............and now....now I am in love with Linux....! you people try out your luck...all the best!

Diggers report that this is likely a phishing scam.
(Incidentally, this is probably why it was loading slowly earlier.)

The site comes up for me. But it sounds fishy. You watch 3 webcasts, give out some personal information, then wait 6-8 weeks for free software. That's just no Microsoft's style, and I couldn't find any mention of it at Microsoft.com. Reader beware....

xPerhaps they'd offer stuff to the Eurotrash if they weren't constantly beeing sued, fined, et al.

A popup window from Microsoft says Power Together is NOT certified and the certificate is from an unknown source.

Who cares. I use Linux. It's better.

Funny how the free copies are, "Sold Out" All Microsoft needs to do is run off more keys which costs them nothing.
Ah, another Microsoft committment, decommitted. (Could this be a euphemism for another broken promise?)

they have no more to offer. don't bother.

Belive it or not. I just got Windows Vista in my mail box on Wednesday 24th, 2007.
It got it for free coming straignh from Microsoft and before it is on the Market.
I loaded it to my SONY G260 Laptop. It works great.
Thanks for the free gift.
