FREE Microsoft USB Drive

That's hot, is there a cost involved?

*goes to check it out*

 

[madmatt]

There is a yearly fee for the Action Pack Subscription (and it's not cheap). Combined with a MSDN subscription it adds up.

 

[kcnychief]

Yeah I just looked over the pricing, not something I need right now.

Still pretty darn cool to have that though. Maybe sometime in the future :smoker:

 

[fitz]

Good post.


I only got a gift pack. They wouldn't send me a MS heating pad no matter how many times I asked. Oh yeah, and Encarta too.

I gave it all away, then bought my own haeting pad. I feel gypped.

 

[vertigo]

[Tittles]

Thank you for your interest in the Mystery Solved Windows® licensing promotion. We've received your request for more information to help clarify Microsoft® Windows Desktop Licensing pre-loaded on the USB drive. Unfortunately, this Mystery Solved promotion was available in the U.S. only and while supplies last. Supply is depleted at this time, so we encourage you to please utilize the online alternative today.

Simply download* the Windows Desktop Licensing reference files directly at:

www.microsoft.com/mysterysolved/corp

To help simplify Windows Desktop Licensing, keep these points in mind:


There are two legal ways to acquire a full Windows Desktop license: through your hardware vendor (OEM/System Builder) or Full Packaged Product.

Volume licensing covers Windows Desktop operating system upgrades only.

OEM operating system licenses live and die with each PC–they are not transferable.

Again, thank you for your interest in Mystery Solved and for helping us spread the word about proper Windows licensing.

Sincerely,
Microsoft Corporation

Beat me by a half hour. I just got that same email saying I don't mine either. DAMN!

 

[kcnychief]

You guys both beat me - I got the same email.

It's all your fault, if I didn't share I would have gotten one :smoker:
