Need a free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate? Are you incredibly trusting of big corporations? Well I have the deal for you, with a new program through Microsoft called the Windows Feedback Program. For the small price of privacy and perhaps some dignity, you can let Microsoft watch your every move for 3 months, in return for some software of your choice. Surveys are also required, one at the start, and then another in 2 week intervals, but compared to the bigger issue those are pretty painless. Some might find this to be an excellent deal, with software prices high, and cost of your free time to be almost nothing at all.

Unfortunately this turned out to be another M$ blunder. They yanked the free Vista & Office giveaway not long after they posted it.

I guess it's time for a shakeup from the bottom up through the employee ranks to the upper management hierarchy in Redmond. M$ is losing touch with themselves.

I guess this second blunder is meant only to commemorate the first anniversary of the free Vista/Office giveaway fiasco. Remember the Power of Together?

Speaking of M$ yanking posts, threads and websites soon after they put it up, even their own Santa Claus was shot down last week for talking too dirty :-)
