more free stuff from microsoft

Post by Mark »

"MS has some online training program (Windows Mobile Technology). There are several "courses" (flash based)...with each course you complete, you get points...as you know, Microsoft likes to give **** away. For example, if you get 1500 points, you get a free copy of Windows XP Pro. 400 points gets you Flight Sim 2004."

i already have 750 points in about 30 minutes of work, also you can get up to 1000 points if you refer someone and they sign up, so if you want in on this then either PM me or hit me at mmaurer@gmail.com.

you only need 1500 for XP pro, there is an extra credit test also when you get done with the main questions.

I forgot to add that you get 200 points if you refer someone else and they do a few questions, although i only got 200 points for that, so far :thumb:

The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, and prejudices to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own for the children and the children yet unborn and the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.

I registered for it and have found that I'm limited to encarta, a couple of pc games, a few old xbox games, travel mug or some hats...

there are some dotted squares under the selection bit, would they be where the rest of the cool things are? might just be my mozilla browser or summit (running on solaris at work).

any ideas?

ps I'm in the uk, so it could just be that we don't get cool things over here... :p
