Microsoft, aka Big Brother, to Give Away Vista

Posted December 11, 2007 by nick

Want to upgrade your PC to Windows Vista, but you don't have the funds to do it? No problem. Microsoft is now giving away Windows Vista Ultimate, Office Ultimate '07, Money Plus Premium, Encarta Premium or Streets and Tips for FREE. Yes, free! What's the catch? Well, all you have to do is let Microsoft sit and watch your every move for three months by filling out surveys and downloading an application by being apart of their Windows Feedback Program. It's a bit creepy, I know. My guess this is just one more step in Microsoft's ultimate goal of world domination. But whatever, at least you save a few hundred bucks.
