    [Dead - no new signups get gift] Windows Feedback Program ( Free VISTA, Office, or other product)

    When I completed their first survey, there was NOT an option to choose free software...so I guess that means I'm screwed. Will send an email to get out of the "program" and find out how to remove this Microsoft spyware from my computer. :-(
