Free USB drive from MS.. (1 Viewer)

Jay H · Mar 3, 2006

I saw this posted on a Subaru forum:

http://www.microsoft.com//windowsxp/...p/default.mspx

You do kind of have to register unless you have a hotmail account, then after you register, answer the questions which are '2' and the rest are all 'TRUE' then in 6-8 weeks, MS is supposed to send you a USB drive with crap loaded on it which you can erase pronto. I ordered mine and thought I'd pass this on.

did it say the size of the drive anywhere? i have an OLD 64 mb flash drive that barely works, i'll use the microsoft drove to replace that, to run a few portable apps from. i dont like to use my ipod shuffle, because of the limited amount of reads/writes, i get paranoid. thanks for the link.

Nope, it doesn't state the size as far as I've seen, but I gather it must be somewhat decent size since I don't think you can buy a USB drive that is less than 32MBs these days...

tanks for the heads up! this will make me really popular around the office and maybe now people will start treating me with respect

I'm pretty sure it's a 64MB drive. MS has been handing them out like crazy at TS Seminars lately.

Cool link. Thanks!

Thanks for the link!

David Blair · Mar 3, 2006

It's either 64MB or 128MB.

I am actually pretty interested in Microsofts free domain registration and hosting at www.officelive.com have a free vanity site parked with them now.

HAHAHA.^

I was going to fill this out untill it dawned on me that the PC I am using has a pirated version of Windows on it.

mattCR · Mar 4, 2006

Pretty bold to admit to piracy on a forum that strongly advocates against.

TonyD · Mar 4, 2006

link fixed

Craig Beam · Mar 4, 2006

Cool! By the time it gets here I'll have totally forgotten about it, so it'll be a nice surprise.

Thanks!

It wasnt my PC.

How do you know if your submission is successful? I click finish, but it just shoots me to the top of the page, I have all the fields with * filled out. Weird.

Anyway, MS sent me a full, free copy of MS Office 2K3, the $500 package. They must have my name entered from beta test applications as I never submitted it to them anywhere else. Nothing like free, legit, expensive software!

You should have gotten a confirmation page saying to expect delivery within 6-8 weeks.
