images/news/vista.jpgMicrosoft's been keeping its record pretty clean of late, but we suppose it couldn't end the year without a parting shot meant to cheese off the ultra-private, Microsoft-eats-children types. The company's latest diabolical plan involves giving away free copies of Windows Vista Ultimate, Office Ultimate '07, Money Plus Premium, Encarta Premium or Streets and Trips -- scary, we know. All you need to do is fill out a few surveys now and then, and download a little app that lets Microsoft watch your every move for three months. If you can manage to be a good little pod person for that long, you get a free copy of whatever software title you selected in the mail. But really, can you put a price on dignity? Exactly, you can't, so sign us up!

The monitoring software, which can still be downloaded and installed on Windows XP- or Vista-powered PCs, collects a wide range of information, according to the program's documentation, including the machine's processor type and speed, the number of folders and files in locations such as Documents, which software has been opened, and any application or operating system crash reports.

omg.. it's like sucking Michaels cock for staying in that entertaining amusement park

If you want to get Program for free.. download it from Warez portal, if you want to support developers, buy it from Authorized sellers..

Do it the right way, the way man do it :RJsPC:

The obvious solution for those with multiple computers is to install it on a little used (for personal use) rig. Let them monitor a folder running 24/7 for Stanford. :RJsPC: The 3 months will be uo in no time. ;)

Yeah.. i thought about this too :) Still I bet they wrote something in their policy, for example if you do that, then no MS Cheese for you ;)

Like Russians say,


Безплатный только сыр в мишеловке..
The only free thing you can get, is a Cheese in the Mouse trap..
