Free Copy of Windows Vista and/or Microsoft Office

[Paralel]

If you want to participate you have to go to this site:

http://www.powertogether.com/

It's a site created by Microsoft to drum up consciousness about Vista and Office 2007.

If you sign up and watch/listen to 3 "webcasts" about Vista and/or Office 2007 you get a free copy of Vista and/or Office 2007 (depending on if you sign up for one or both offers).

The only trouble I have run into is that the site has a bunch of quirks/bugs that haven't been ironed out yet (the site only came out of beta two days ago), so don't be surprised if you hit a few errors/slowdowns along the way. It's nothing that you can't get around, it just gets a little annoying.

I don't get anything if people sign-up and I have nothing to do with the site and/or Microsoft. There is no ulterior motive here. I posted this here so people can get a free copy of Microsoft's typically overpriced software. Feel free to spread it around to any other places/people you think might want to participate and get free stuff.

Hmmm, are there proofs that it's a Microsoft website?
I did some research and found out that it's only for US resident (and it seems to be real).

 

[Opium]

are the errors and slowdowns caused by spyware being loaded onto your computer?

Vista is god awful expensive, why would they give it to you for free?

Well I tried it out, and needed to install netmeeting. After that I'm asked for a key of some kind which I don't have.. So yeah, it's buggy as hell. I'll just get my copy the usual way.

 

[lookout]

It a spam...

I don't give a fuck... My school already gives me every Microsoft software I want for free

This is indeed legit. I've already scored Office 2007 Pro and have watched 2 of the Videos to get Vista. They are boring as shit though. I started the vid and came back an hour later after it was done.

:'( It's US only. Suffice to say, I hate you all, with your early Wii and free Vista *shakes fist*

heaps funny I'm installing ubuntu(for my mum) on my old pc as i read this

. I'm putting gentoo on mine as soon as i back up all my data.
I think that Vista will give linux greater popularity.

Sorry for not mentioning it was only valid in the US, I forgot to include that in the original post. I guess being in the US I forget about the international nature of the forum, and this forum is more so than most I visit. My bad.

As far as people saying it's spam/non-legit, I can understand people being skeptical, but why not investigate it first before saying that. I don't expect anyone to take any post at face value, but it's just poor form to say something like that without even looking into it/doing an incomplete investigation first. My compliments to the people who actually looked into it and realized it was for real.

Ditto.

We don't get the full office suite but plenty of everything else. Including a build of vista from oct 05 :[

doesn't matter now as the free copies are gone.

Waitwaitwait...so you guys from the US can get windows vista for free!?!?

Why...?...WHY!?!

 

[cruddybuddy]

What? Vista is not normally supposed to be free? *looks shamefully at RTM version of Vista running right now*
