Mystery Solved.

Offer expired Mar 31 2006

It asks for Company, in the form. Wat do i put there? And also is this really free? Will i have to pay anything at all?

Hi Abraham,

Unfortunately, this program is for US residents only. Its not applicable to Australia.

Oh k. That's not fair is it? Can anybody do it for me, and then mail me the USB drive?

I was able to do it, and confirm my e-mail, find out in 6-8 weeks if it worked, lol
Whether it actually works?
I was wondering about the company name as well... do you think it actually needs to be a real company?

I sent away for this deal, because it must be valid in Canada. The form has a category for "State/Province", and the drop-down menu lists all of the Canadian Provinces.

My main question is:

Can I delete the "Valuable Information", and then put my own stuff on it? :confused:

Yes of-course you can do what ever you like to do with it.

I wonder if anybody will actually receive their USB key... I mean, do you really expect Microsoft to give a USB key to about 100, 000 people? I don't. (oh yeah it's 100,000 people because I believe this was on the front page of digg.com with about 2000 diggs or something like that). I definitely think that only the first few people might have been lucky enough to get the USB's.

Oh well, time will tell...

it's worth a try, i'm sure it only costs MS a dollar or 2 per drive, if they don't do it... they will lose all respect they gained with IE7.
*It's just a USB drive, happens to come with some data already on it. Delete it keep it it's your choice.

Yeah you are right, it's worth a try (who know may be Microsoft is generous...?). And my guess is that that the people might lose their respect for IE 7 if Firefox 2.0 is really better. But you are right... what if they still give out the USB (even to Canadian residents)...

By the way I was wondering why the questions were there in order to get the USB drive? After deep thought I came up with something like this... If you answer all the questions right, then you don't need the USB, because you know most of the stuff already... if you don't answer the questions right then the USB drive might be for you, since you don't know anything.

I hope the questions weren't there to separate the people who want the USB from people who need the USB (because I have a feeling I answered all the questions correctly :))

hahahaha, that does sound like a clever Microsoft ploy.. wait did i just use clever and Microsoft in the same sentence..?! It didn't waste 'that' much of my time, so i guess there's no loss if they decided to screw me over, lol

Did anybody get their USB Drive yet?

nothing is free
 

there is no such thing as free
its a word use to catch out the public into taking somethng they don't want

Yes, there is. This is an offer from Microsoft which gives people a free USB drive with info on something from Microsoft. No catches at all i think.

No catches? Perhaps this might be a catch... and chances are that people are researching and giving the right answers to all the questions since the want the USB ...

You could say that also.

OK why should us aussies miss out if this is true about getting a freebie from the richest company in the world.hey bill wake up and smell the roses as i am about to give microsoft a run 4 its money.............as i have just about finished my new version of windows well you could call it that.. and you don't have to boot what is that? at all...:tongue: think about it how it will work.

Where is the image to click on ? I find nothing like valubale info-get yours or anything about USB drivers. Am I blind or did it move. I scrolled down the entire page and saw nothing or the right side. Help!!!!!!!

i can't find it either so don't feel so bad:mad:

This was a pretty old offer which was offered last year (2006) for one month. And guess what I am still waiting for that "Free USB Drive" from Microsoft.

ok thats good
 

Thanks sami...let me check it out...thank u man

Thanks Guys
 

I just want to say thanks for all the time you all devote to getting all this info out to us who don't have the Ability and/or Time to do the extensive research that you do. I was kind of Leary about the"Free USB" and was not surprised no one actually got one. So thanks bunches and may your dog hunt and your cow give milk. Merry Christmas and May the Lord Bless You and Your Family!!:first:

As Sami stated, the offer expired Mar 31 2006.

I know several people in the US who received this usb drive from Microsoft, they said it was a 32 meg capacity drive.

So really you never missed out on much free or otherwise...

To Everybody here,

hello to all...thanks for accepting me and your welcome on this site...more power to all of you

since our topic is USB, anybody help me what will i do ...my usb is unreadable...

You should have started a new thread as your post is off topic, instead of awakening this thread from the dead.

It's probally had it, they give up after so many read and writes. You can pick up 4 gig flashdrives for $20.00 here in Oz so they're cheap to replace ...
