My .net passport is Canadian. Strange…
I enter my country as Canada the first time when just collecting information, but the second time when entering shipping information, it’s selected as US and is greyed out.
Is it entirely possible that as the website gathers the vitals, it’s also gathering machine information? (ie. OS, browser, versions etc.) As my laptop was bought in the States, and I brought it back up north with me. Seems a little far fetched to me…
hrmm it worked for me and I live in Edmonton, on the Select a Country/Region: part I just hit Canada and State turned into province and zip code changed to postal code
You know…knowing Microsoft, these are probably read-only. I don’t see what all the hype is about, really.

So when I have a paper to print, I have to burn it to a CD on my laptop, then pop it in one of the school lab computers. Most of the time I work at school, so emailing it to myself from home isn’t really an option either. It’s turning out to be a huge waste of CDs and money…
Even if it’s only 32MB, that’s more than enough to transfer a .doc file from laptop to the school computer, and if it’s free… 😮
I know you’re looking for free (arn’t we all), but eBay has a pretty cheap list.
I found one for just under $5 (CDN). http://cgi.ebay.ca/Rare-Crestor-USB-32MB-Thumb-Drive_W0QQitemZ6266005258QQcategoryZ15911QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Ooh, great idea. I always buy from eBay, don’t know why it didn’t occur to me. Thanks Graham.
I signed up for this a while back. I’ve seen this all over the internet and I’m certain not everyone that signed up will get one. That’d be a lot of dough and as Spike said, probably read-only.
I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if it was read-only. Then again, what if it isn’t read-only? 😉
I signed up a few weeks ago, but I kind of forgot about it until I saw this thread again, so I mean it won’t be a big dissapointment to me if I dont get one.
just out of curiosity, has anyone that completed this received their drive yet? according to the post date, i did this on march 1st. today is may 8th, and still no sign of any package from microsoft anywhere. that’s over 8 weeks now… nothing takes that long to ship.
anybody actually get theirs?
you should email Mr. Gates tell him they forgot to ship yours.
execoff@microsoft.comI know this addy is right, well 2 weeks ago it was.
Well i’m guessing it’s cuz of:
They most likely ran out very fast. So if you didn’t get it when you posted March 1 being one of the first, then anyone after didn’t either. (i applied for one after i saw your post but never posted and i didn’t get one either).
