Free MS Software…Cost: Your Soul

Spotted this at Gizmodo. You can get a free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate, Office Ultimate, Money Plus Premium, or other software, all for the price of letting MS track your computer usage for 3 months. That includes surveys every 2 weeks. It all stems from Microsoft’s Windows Feedback Program. To be honest, I am in for this as I wanted a legal copy of Vista. All MS will find out from the PC they track is that my wife loves Diablo II.

edit: Looks like they are all done with this…supplies didn’t last thanks to /. and Gizmodo.

    I see nowhere where that site claims to be offering free software. Where did you hear of this?

    They changed the site…it was ‘while supplies last’ but the story was on Slashdot and Gizmodo so it probably got hammered pretty hard.
