Only in IE?

Good deal but I will have to pass

 

[Akhen]

it would have been nice if it where not for the rebates, CompUSA has been terrible with me on that reguard

 

[TechnoSaint]

These are Microsoft rebates though. Don't think it has anything to do with CompUSA. Both rebates are to Microsoft, one to Detroit and the other to El Paso.

Thanks 2u,
Looks like a pretty hot deal to me.

thanks OP

Looks like a good deal, but I prefer the APC Biometric Pod I got off Ebay. It comes with OmniPass and that allows you to use it in a lot of different software and interfaces well with Windows. I got mine for around $15 shipped off Ebay - NIB.

But if you, like most users out there, use IE, then I don't see any problem with this great deal.

And unless MS has changed their tune recently, you can't use it to log in to a domain (not that that'll matter for personal use).

Yikes, I was all over this until:
1. IE only
2. can be hacked
3. one of the rebate forms says send proof of purchase for wireless desktop

forum saved me a trip, $9.99 plus tax, and waiting for rebates

THANKS!

Rule #1. Ifsomeone has physcal access to your PC its not yours anymore.

requires physical access to "hack".

It works in all my programs that require passwords. Only thing is in quickbooks, it'll enter the password but it won't hit the ok button for some reason. all the other programs, it does. i think it's great, best consumer fingerprint reader out since theres like two. i've tried the APC one, it sucks. the software of the apc is what makes it suck the most. obviously the microsoft one is better integrated into their os.

I don't suppose this can be used to generate images of fingerprints? For example, to eliminate the nasty black ink often used.

Acquire the microsoft FingerPrint Reader
Enclose as your proofs of purchase for Wireless Optical Desktop 5000

Part of the rebate (10$) requires purchase of the optical desktop i think.

Humm, I am not seing what you are.... perhaps they updated it.

On 0021888.pdf (the $10 rebate form) I see:

1. Acquire the microsoft FingerPrint Reader
2. Enclose as your proof of purchase for FingerPrint Reader:
barcode, etc... yada yada yada...

Don't see anything about the optical desktop.

What I don't like about that rebate is up top where it say not combinable with any other Microsoft offers or rebates.
Both rebates for this item are Microsoft.
Therefore I'm just gonna use the ones that printed from the register.

This thing probably wouldn't do it, but we use an inkless palmprint /fingerprint scanner at work (fed govt)

hold your hand against the glass, scan, and off to the fbi database it goes.

we also use inkless thumbprint scanners for DoD smart cards which stores your thumb print on the smart card.

 

[biggiesmallz]

Anyone knows if this works with Windows 2000?

 

[basurabin]

good deal OP!

here's an addendum:

it's slightly a lil better, tax-wise. Same fingerprint reader at Office Deport for $19.99 , OD Link

with a $10 MIR.
