Bluenoise Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Is this offered in Canada? From my personal experience approximatley 99% of all companies that say they do not ship internationally, seem to be under the impression that Canada is just another state or something like Hawaii.

5614 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Yeah... and I still haven't got mine! I ordered it about 6 weeks ago and it says allow 6 to 8 weeks for delivery, so it better be here soon! Although I did just buy a new 1GB USB drive, for £15 (incl. P&P or ~$30). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesmudge Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Must be about 6 weeks since i ordered mine - I bet we can't delete the rubbish off them anyway - or at least not using windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I hope we can... I was gonna reformat mine and put dam small linux on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 This USB needs to contain a small few documents from MS, it could be like a 32MB drive or something How small does Linux come? It's a good idea that if we cant format it on Windows we should try on Linux. Note it is possible to make USB keys read-only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xeluc Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 well it's now been 8 weeks since they said they'd ship it to me. So was this an empty promise? Is that even legal (or smart) for Microsoft to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Somehow, I doubt it's illegal. It was a free promo, you didn't buy anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I just got this email from microsoft: From: Microsoft (procurement@email.microsoft.com) To: rkurtz57@msn.com Subject: The mystery of the missing USB drive Thank you for your interest in the Mystery Solved Windows® licensing promotion. We've received your request for more information to help clarify Microsoft® Windows Desktop Licensing pre-loaded on the USB drive. Unfortunately, this Mystery Solved promotion was available in the U.S. only and while supplies last. Supply is depleted at this time, so we encourage you to please utilize the online alternative today. Simply download* the Windows Desktop Licensing reference files directly at: http://www.microsoft.com/mysterysolved/corp To help simplify Windows Desktop Licensing, keep these points in mind: There are two legal ways to acquire a full Windows Desktop license: through your hardware vendor (OEM/System Builder) or Full Packaged Product. Volume licensing covers Windows Desktop operating system upgrades only. OEM operating system licenses live and die with each PC–they are not transferable.

5614 Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Well thanks for posting that. I had kinda given up hope. I can only conclude that MS and "free/cheap/good value" do not go together in any sense... Worth a try I spose. But if they even start to send me spam now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Well thanks for posting that. I had kinda given up hope. I can only conclude that MS and "free/cheap/good value" do not go together in any sense... Worth a try I spose. But if they even start to send me spam now... no prob... I was wondering if anybody else got a similar email. But anyway, I rather doubt that they ever planned to send out free USB's. Considering they gave a link where you can download all the info that would have been on the drive anyway.

Mokele Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Is it just me, or is accepting a free USB of software from Microsoft like accepting a freebie from a hooker with a face full of herpes sores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Is it just me, or is accepting a free USB of software from Microsoft like accepting a freebie from a hooker with a face full of herpes sores? Only if you in a place where prostitution is legal, and the prostitute has some sort of user/lisence agreements that she isn't responsible for any STD's transmitted.
