Getting Free Vista For Feedback?

[Suicide_Run]

Well, I was browsing around and I found this. Get A Free Vista For Feedback

 

Apparently, you gotta allow Microsoft install something on your comp....which allows them to view pretty much everything you do cause they want to improve their service or w/e. Plus you gotta do a survey and after doing both, you gotta wait for 3 months then they will send you a free copy of Vista Ultimate.

 

Also....apparently from what a poster said, its US only so....sucks for me since im in Canada.

Yeah and I was "supposed" to get free Vista a year ago because I did a survey on Microsoft.com 2 years ago. Thanks Microsoft!

Vista it sucks anyway. I went back to xp.

Same reinstalled XP after buying and trying out vista

Vista blows, I used it back in beta, then again in pre-release. I kept hoping it would get better, it never did. Windows Vista is the new Windows ME ^^.

Vista is alright but XP is all you needs its just more functional as an OS. Also Vista free = ez since it authenticates at the bios level, hacking + cracking it is so !@#$%^&*ing easy.

do you guys think i can go back to XP if my laptop was specifically designed for Vista?

[X`terrania]

Windows 98 has always been the best.

Yes. Just pop in an XP cd.

[ESCANDAL0SA]

are you sure? someone told me that i'm gonna run into problems since my laptop was designed specifically for vista.

[★ LtNirvana]

Someone is an idiot, just boot from the XP cd and format your computer completely. You can't do an "upgrade" install cuz your going backwards.

[Incomplete]

I wouldnt say idiot, just not a computer geek. It's an innocent question. :/

 

Like some phones wont take other lines even being unlocked because it's built for that one line.

[Cancer+]

Yeah but no computer is "BUILT" for an OS. (Except for MAC?) It just has the specs that Vista could run on.

 

XP will just run better.

[Incomplete]

Yes I know that but what I was meant to say is that there's no point im having a dig at someone who doesn't know.

[Ghetto D]

When they say "designed for Vista" it it just a fancy selling tool, to make you think what you are buying is the latest and greatest.

 

In reality it is built to run Vista, using usually the minimum required parts to run the software. I love how some of the computers are coming out with 512mb of ram, which is fine for just vista home, but as soon as you start running other programs, you might as well forget it.

 

I worked at CompUSA when vista was launched, They had us selling this thing like it the was the greatest thing since the GUI. Now compUSA is out of business, lol.

No, I was just simply letting Losa and the general audience know.

 

But yeah Losa, just pop the XP cd in and run it. It will run fine.

Well, after a reformat, of course.
