This offer is available in the U.S. only while supplies last. USB drive is 16MB in size. Limit one per customer. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery.

I would not sweat a 16 MB USB drive not coming. Take the spiritual route- "If it was meant to be, it will be". : )

The problem with this attitude is that one gives Microsoft one's personal
information and gets nothing in return. This is an unfair deal, because one's
personal information is worth more than nothing.

Ahmen!!

Been 8+ weeks now and I was in on it early.
 
I think I signed up for this, but it has been so long ago that I cannot remember. Maybe that is what they hoped for.

Who says the information you give to MSFT has to be correct? 😉

Because if it isn't, it's hard for the package to arrive. At least some of it must have been accurate.

Same here. Other than the initial thank you for participating mail, nothing.

Same...
Its microsoft though... it will show up in 7 months and youll think "WTF is this package in my mailbox, open it" and it will take a good minute for your to remember.
 
pre-installed xp = noob ..except for on laptops..i can understand that..but i wouldnt buy a pre-built system..im not criticizing those who do, i just dont think they honestly give a crap about microsoft because they arent that interested in the industry

Well, I would say a 16MB USB key that may be write protected is probably worse than "nothing". Besides if you have registered any of your MS products with Micrsoft, they already have the info.
 
Still nothing in my mailbox... Oh well....

I've gotten other things from Microsoft before, so I expect this will EVENTUALLY be delivered....
