They stopped offering the free software at 2pm today the 11th.

It sure would have been nice of them to remove it before I signed up.

I've come to enjoy openoffice.org much more, and well, I've already returned a laptop because Vista wasn't working out.

Let me know when they'll offer a free copy of Windows XP though!

I might upgrade in a year or two if Vista ever runs better with some service packs. I think Vista is the "Windows ME" of 2007. They'll probably have a real product worth using out in another year or two.

Well my camera is equipped with a 1000 megasquirtle light sensitive array with a megakilo double widget interface and a pseudo-terrafilter. its got 2 million hexafurtles with a 10 kiloplex and a rechargeable virtual combo-backplate. i also fitted an optical fillyfangle with predictive threshold histogram monitoring. it also has a light sensitive light meter and a time sensitive shutter mechanism.

A few of those might be worth having, too bad they pulled the offer.

I love it as well. It also runs off of a thumb drive, so I can always have important docs with me. Not as useful to others as it is to me, but I edit on several different computers most of the time.

So I guess if you registered yesterday while the were still giving out the software but got the survey link today you'll still get it. I hope
