Free Vista Ultimate?

I have heard if one enrolls in perhaps (?) both programs linked below, then he or she will garner a free Vista Ultimate. I can't confirm since I did not follow the program sign ups all the way through.

Free Vista Ultimate?

Good luck. Let us know how it goes if you give it a try.

I signed up because I have already got a free copy of business and Premium so why not try for a copy of Ultimate waiting for the e-mail to see what the catch is or maybe it is pretty straight forward will post results soon.

Thanks Z. I already sign up for the Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate (32-bit and 64-bit DVD). I'm running XP alongside an unlicense copy (not illegal, just have not register yet) of Vista on the PC I just built, so this would come on handy. Will wait and see what happens.

If you are a Windows Vista or Windows XP user and decide to join and participate in both programs, we will send you a free Microsoft product when you participate in the program. "When you participate in the program" could mean more than on thing; like sometime this week, or month or when program ends. Though the offer ends 12/31/07, it doesn't mean that the product will be sent before the offer ends.

True. I'm participating in the project, so I will let everyone know when I get the free product.

Gosh, maybe I should participate. But, I can't figure out what I'd do with another copy of Vista. I have a 32-bit Premium for one machine, a 32-bit Ultimate for one machine, and a 32-bit Ultimate for one machine (currently unused). I have a 32-bit OEM Ultimate from Newegg (currently unused). I have Business Vista from the Gateway/Microsoft Vista "free upgrade from XP program" (currently unused). And, I have Technet 32-bit and 64-bit Vistas. Both of these still are in use with Technet's permission. I ask if it was OK to continure to use them rather than to use the software that came with the respective machines. I guess I could always get Streets and Tips or whatever the program is called. LOL

What exactly does participation entail?
