Hey I just wanted to let you guys know that I got an email this morning regarding the Windows Feedback Program. Apparently anyone who tried to register back in December (December 11th to be exact) will still be eligible to take part in the program, provided that your entry submission was timestamped prior to 2pm PST on December 11th. This is all according to the email I just received. I remember trying to register on that day and not receiving my confirmation email...but who wasn't trying to register that day! It was mad busy! I can't believe that they are being so generous and doing this but hey I am gonna get a free retail copy of Office Ultimate 2007 !!!! WOOHOO ! Check your emails ! :)
 
Nice! I beat the clock too. Thanks for the heads-up, I probably would have deleted the email. ;)

Correct me if I am wrong but the free Vista is the REAL no bs version right? Not some timed trial or anything?
 
Yeah this is awesome. I got the email too. They sent me an email requesting me to take a short survey, but since I never got to select my item, etc, I deleted it. 2 days later I get the email saying they still need my address and to select my product. Wooo
 
same here . now in 3 months i should have vista ultimate :D
 
wasabipeas you f'in rock! i just checked my email and i got it too, only problem is once i found out that i wasn't eligible i unintalled it so hopefully i can now reinstall and still be eligible.. i'll give it a shot, thanks :D

edit: OP you should have put this in hot deal discussion subforum.. MODS, please dont lock this, just move it there, this is important info for people.. thanks
 
The sender is "Windows Feedback Panel" (winpanel@microsoft.com) and the subject line, at least in my email, is this "missing information for your participation in the Windows Feedback Program".
 
I registered for this program right when it was available, picked the software, and have been running it ever since. How can we tell if they're receiving data from us?


 
I signed up and did the download and got in in time, but I haven't been asked to do any surveys....?
 
Same here. I got the email. It requested some additional information and I have NOT been asked to complete any surveys.


Though a while back when they held a similiar promotion for Vista Business I had to watch 3 videos.(I watched 5 min of each video) and i got Vista Business FREE.


So I dunno who handles their promotions but it seems like it will go through.
 
I have NOT got the email.

Then again, when I signed up I was asked for my address and to choose my gift.
 
The offer works. I've applied in september/ocotober and got 2 vista ultimate, 32 and 64 bits, in december. They even sent and email to confirm if I receive it or not. In case I didn't, they would re-ship it. Since when M$ is so nice??
 
I'm another that's been in since the original offer- no surveys yet though.

Vista Utilmate, here I come!
 
i was so pissed off when i applied for that promotion and got no email back from them. i thought maybe i had done something wrong, so i reapplied with a different email address. got nothing back from the second email either. i emailed ms and they told me i had missed the cut off when i knew i had applied way before the cut off. i was ripping them big time, calling the program a scam. than last night i checked my email and there it was, an email from ms telling me that i didnt miss the cut off! filled out my shipping info and selected my product and installed there little feed pack program. than i remembered that i applied from a second email, checked that email address and there was another email from ms! so now in 90 days i should have vista and office sitting at my door. what a good week, im going to be getting alot of free legit software, maybe i can get even luckier and win that 3800x2 that this site is giving away??

you know i never got any conformation email from ms to select my product i wanted, but they have already sent me a survey
 
I received the original registration email from them at 3:54PM EST so I guess I am good on that. I have had the software installed and running on my laptop but have not received any emails after the initial one BUT I had initially selected my gift and entered my shipping address so that may account for why I haven't received a subsequent email from them.

Same here, I wish they would send us something just so I know everything is going ok, would hate to get an E-mail next month saying sorry, we never recieved any data from you so your no longer qualified.
 
I signed up on Dec 11th, they sent me the email below on that date (which I am pretty sure I clicked on - that would suck), and I haven't heard anything from them since then. I have the software running on my computer. I am hoping most of you have had this same experience? No surveys, nothing since then. Just hoping a new copy of Vista shows up at my door in mid-March. :confused:

i was close to uninstalling on my PC at work, but never did, and then i get this e-mail... i wonder if it starts with three months right now, or if they are back dating it to when people originally signed up... anyone know?

Yep, also just got the email. Now I can sell my bought copy of Vista. YAY
