Hi Guys,

Just been sent this link, basically you answer 4 questions regarding licensing, in which the answers are given, then you get a free usb stick.

I hope it's not stuck at readonly

Anyway, http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/mysterysolved/corp/default.mspx

sweet, i'll get to try what one of my friends did, he took a flash drive, and removed the casing, then put paper on the memory stuff and wrapped orange duct tape around that...

so you end up with a really thin styling flash drive (with a small chance of losing the flash drive by messing it up )

It'll probably be 512 or 1GB. It's nothing for MS. There was an Xbox 360 dev convention a while back with thousands of people--- everyone of them got a gift bag with a 512 USB stick in there too.

Na! MS won`t take your soul, they just trim off all the fleshy bits, extract the juicy contents from the bony bits and then take the bones to process into bio-degradeable plastic to make LongVista DVD`s, they leave your soul (although they do have a possesion option)

I suppose the 6-8 weeks shipping is because MSoft has a lot of packages to send, most of which they'll be getting money for. They ain't gonna hurry sending freebies.

they're actually sending us information on something that is ON the USB....
I'm sure if they locked it on read-only, it'll be easy to desolder this and solder that
