Get Windows Vista or Office 2007 Free from Microsoft

Microsoft has announced a new survey where they will reward you with your choice of a free Microsoft product.   This includes Windows Vista Ultimate and Office 2007.   There are two surveys involved.   One that you fill out, and one that is automated.   You are required to install some software on your computer that keeps track of what programs your run.   This goes on for three months.

I already own legit copies of Windows Vista and Office 2007.   I do not need another copy.   I also refuse to install tracking software on my computer.   It is nobodys business that programs I run.   I run a personal computers meaning - None of your business - Leave me alone.  

Is this invasion of privacy worth it to you?

One Comment

I agree with your comment in reference to download a free Windows or Office 2007 from MIcrosoft in exchange for them installing a tracking program…nada…not happening…stupid…foolish…too damn greedy. I, like you, like my privacy… whether or not I am doing anything illegal is my business as is my private documents, pictures, banking records and anything else of importance to me…no one else’s business. I’d only agree to allowing that sort of system - where they are allowed to put a tracking program on my computer in exchange for me be allowed to do that to Bill Gates’ computer… Now, that could be interesting there… Our country as a whole is becoming so lacking in people’s privacy it is unbelievable and quite scary. This is up there with the idiot credit card companies insisting on asking for our social security numbers for “verification” whenever we need to open, check, close an account. And people wonder how identity theft could happen to them? And then the other side - where people think it’s ok to give out all sorts of information because they think they have nothing to hide…the gullible fools…

What Do You Think?
