Microsoft is currently promoting Windows Vista and Office 2007 for developers by offering a free licensed DVD of Vista Business or Office 2007 Professional (yes, a full legal version). All you need to do is participate in 3 Web Casts or Virtual Lab Sessions of Microsoft in 30 days from your registration. It's only good for the US Residents though

Still, this pretty interesting(the product, not "US residents").

I think we should sink America and then move everyone to the UK so we can be in charge. Don't care about overcrowing

*Sighs and then buys a MacBook pro instead*

Nah, I'll stick with Windows XP for a while, and then maybe upgarde to Vista late next year maybe however my XP is doing just fine.

Umm I have no clue what you're talking about. I actually got it early. From what i got out of the powertogether.com site it said that Vista would ship to me 6-8 weeks after it comes out. Well as far as i know vista hasnt hit the shelves. Isn't Jan. 30?

[Ben]

Well when abouts did you apply for it? I mean from November 30th, that's a while to wait. And I thought Vista had already come out? My friend bought a copy already.

as an update, i got an email from ms saying congrats on your free office, so i guess it worked!
the website actually said 6-8 weeks after RTM, i believe
and since release to manufacturers was what 4+ weeks ago? we should all be receiving our softwarez within the next month, hopefully ill have built a new computer by then

[Atomica]

i get to buy it for 10$ from the microsoft alliance ))

[NGPixel]

hehe, MSDNAA is the best option there. I'm getting Windows Vista Business Edition free from there. Office 2007 is not yet available though...
