Free shit from Microsoft

Vista is pretty fantastic. What was everyone's beef with Vista? That there weren't drivers for a month after it came out and everyone shit their pants?

A bunch of people at SA are reporting that their prizes are coming in. One guy got like eight copies of Vista, and another guy got six Zunes. I've still got a webcam, 360 controller, and Vista coming to me, hopefully.

I found a copy of some all- encompassing theme pack that turn your XP into a Vista look-a-like. It looks and smells like Vista but runs like XP. The best of both worlds. Seriously, I can't find a thing in my buddy's machine (running vista) that I really want or need with XP.

I have a package waiting for me from Microsoft as well. UPS did the thing where they come three times while I am at work, and now I have to pick it up.

I just went for that and opted out. I figure that the 360s/Zunes have to be out of stock, and at this rate Microsoft is going to clear all the points soon and try to rewrite their system.

I just got a package at home, from Microsoft, contained within was Windows Vista Ultimate.

I just can't imagine they can't derive some time stats from stuff. If they think people are cheating I would imagine them wiping points and canceling orders.

I wouldn't be surprised if people like this:

Get accounts that earn points too fast reset. If the only way to get ahead is cheating I think it will compromise the money they're making, as less people do it, with especially less attention. Also, I don't think they are beyond just canning the orders of anyone they thought cheated.

If I recall correctly, over at SA we determined that that is simply a display bug.

It's actually unlikely that Microsoft will stop this anytime soon. The money they get from the Live Search tie-in far outweighs the money they lose shipping out prizes.

And I also don't think they'll "run out" of Zunes or 360s. It's Microsoft. They make them.

Huh. That's strange. Sorry about that guys, I didn't know you couldn't read individual threads in GBS without an account.

Maybe getting too many hits brings out the donation can on a specific forum?

Why can't you view the instructions? I'm pretty sure GBS is readable to those without accounts, but whatever.

TSearch Instructions

* Open the firefox.exe process.
* Click the "Find" magnifying glass.
* Type in 280 and wait for it to find them.
* Type in any legit 3-letter word in the Chicktionary game.
* Click the "Find Next" magnifying glass in TSearch.
* Enter 272 as a value. It should find one result.
* In the left pane, double click the result.
* In the right pane, change 272 to 8
* Click the checkbox thing, to freeze the value.
* Go back to Chicktionary and type in another legit 3-letter word.
* You win.

I'd reply to that post, but since I have fallen on the floor in a riotous fit of uncontrollable laughter, I am unable to reach the keyboard.

Here's an image of my experiences so far

Oh, whoops. Wrong slide.

I do have a crosswire thing that runs non-stop for me now. If someone could copy and paste the stuff from that SA thread (it's basically exortion you see) I'd really appreciate that.

by **Worm** » Mon Jul 02, 2007 12:25 pm

I ripped the cross wire exe back to an ahk and I'm manually adjusting it. I'll post it recompiled to exe in a second.

Bah, it won't fucking work lest I can actually do real work on it. We'll see.

EDIT: I can't see those instructions. :(
