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

Loads of things are for US only! It sucks

Thanks for the info NG, passing it on.

O.o
I told my friend, hopin he sends me back-up of cd now v.v
hope is just an excuse for not losing v.v
Still, this pretty interesting(the product, not "US residents").

Lol, by the time I found this article, Windows Vista copies had already been sold out. Talk about being desperate.

oo im gona do it, sure beats the other options

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.

hey im just gona tell you that yes the vista opportunity is now gone, but the office is still available
i finished watching my 3 webcasts (actually i didnt - they would never load for me so i waited til the timer on the site ended lol so i downloaded and 'watched' them)
and i think my office is pending approval and mailing woot

edit: i just checked and it says office is sold out too
but in my account it says completed =( i hope i get it

ooo Im doing this, also if you purchase a computer from Dell you get a free liscence of business


but they are all taken

NICE NICE!

Thx NG!

Oh how cool I just got my free copy of vista today. It works great thanks NG for posting this.

Sure took its time

thanx might try it.

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?

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

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

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