I got mine today also. One of the CD's is marked, "Not For Resale Or Trade" That trade part is new. I guess you just have to give them away, free with some other purchase if you want to make anything off of them instead of keeping them. The Front Page one does not say anything NFR on it.

Some people have reported getting the prize package without receiving any previous email notification. I took 11 of the tests on 12-13 and did not receive any email. I think people kept taking the tests even after the prizes remaining gif still showed them as available, when in fact they had already run out.

I finished the test on 12-13. I did receive confirmation email, and shipping notice email. It should be here today, but UPS site says it is still in the middle of nowhere:|

I received my package today. I took the tests, and received the "You've already won this prize" note on the "Prizes" portion of the MS web site but I never received any email from MS, not even the shipping confirmation. That should give hope to those of you out there who completed the tests but haven't heard anything from MS.

My package is scheduled to be delivered tommarrow. I took 12 of the tests after the closing date when it had the counter for how many were left. Got the email saying that i had earned it etc. And my company is one on the list.

I received mine today (Thursday)! No retail boxes...all programs came in cd envelopes (Zoo Tycoon in a jewel case). All the CDs were wrapped inside the Flight Simulator tee shirt (for protection during transit I assume).

I guess if you want documentation, then you'll have to look for it on the CD.

Great stuff! :)

nope, he means the readme.txt of most of the software that they give u, they give you the retail cd's of all the products, no no special version with manual on cd. Also none of mine said not for resale on it, but im still gonna keep them all anyways ;)

For people who got the package already, is FrontPage supposed to be 2 CDs? It looks like they gave me two FrontPages by mistake.

I got mine today. Pretty cool stuff. I figured it out retail wise and if you figure the shirt was $20 or so, thats about $500 worth of free software. Not bad huh?

nope...frontpage is one CD only.....and a REALLY nice holographic one too (now i know what they meant by the "anti-piracy" question on the Frontpage test we took to get this package....hehe)

you got TWO? in 2 envelopes with two different CD keys or 2 in the same envelope with 1 CD key? if u got 2 with 2, man...lucky...hehe....u could prob sell them for around $100+ each (some guy is selling his copy on ebay rite now...last i saw it was $106)

Yup, got two different envelopes with two different CD Keys. Thanks for the tip about Ebay. I think in the email they sent it said not for resale, but not on the CD. Don't know the legality of it. :)

hehe....i dont think its illegal to ebay these....if they said "not for resale" on the CDs, then maybe....yea...if u have 2, and chances are you dont use frontpage anyway (good ol' notepad..hehe) so u might as well make an easy $200...dang...lucky....can i get 50% commission on your 2nd CD? :)

if you look at zoo tycoon, that one says something like "copyright microsoft UNPUBLISHED work. not for RESALE or trade"....i guess then it'd be illegal....

but people are always selling "not for resale" perfume on ebay, so why not software? =)
