Free legitimate Microsoft software...
Hey, didn't know if any of you would be interested in this, but I figured I would let you know just in case.
Apparently if you sign up for their usage collection program and do a few surveys every now and then, they will send you your choice of Windows Vista Ultimate, Office 2007, Money, or Encarta and Maps after 3 months of being in the program.
To sign up go here:

I know you can already get all this stuff for free from bittorrent, but I wouldn't mind having a free real copy of the software so I don't have to bother with cracking and patching the software and will have no problems getting updates.

Office 2007 is kickass, I just don't use it too much and would rather have a legitimate operating system.

We're talking about Vista though :P And for once I'd like to have a legitimate install where I don't have to crack or anything.

Nice find man! I ran ubuntu for a little bit.. Very nice, easy to use linux os. Probably the best for any n00b who wants to get into it.. All of a sudden I was running into dual boot problems and just got frustrated so I trashed the linux.. As far as vista,,, the longer you take to use it, the better!! Push it off for a few more months jorsher
