    Get free Vista if you attend the event! YMMV
    Ripped from FW.

    I received an email invitation to attend a Microsoft Event today. According to the email, you will receive a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP1 just for attending. I think it is open for everybody. You may find a Event near you here. http://technetevents.com/register.aspx

    Message from E-mail:
    """Join us for a free day of live learning with the most experienced IT pros and developers in your local area. You'll get plenty of useful tips, and still have time to swap stories with your peers. Plus, you'll leave with a copy of Windows Vista® Ultimate 32-bit SP1, just for attending. Take your technical skills to the next level with MSDN and TechNet Events."""

    I know it's vista and its old news. Either this thread will be a repost or vista will be bashed. Let's start.

    Can anyone confirm that this isn't one of their 180-day trial stunts?

    I've been to two Microsoft events where this was the case.

    NOTE: Most events have only been raffling 5 copies of Vista and not providing copies to everyone.

    Not a ton of locations, but these events are pretty cool. Still holding my last free copy of Vista... for now.

    Sweet! There's two events fairly close to me. I've registered for both and the system doesn't seem to have a problem with that so I'll see what happens.

    One observation is that they say nothing about giving away anything for free on the registration page. I'd hate to drive 50 miles and take a half day off work for nothing!

    Thanks. I always try to make these. I've gotten lots of free software this way. Being a student is another great way. Sign up before it's filled up!

    usually its a full NFR copy (not for resale). I've gotten a few, and its pretty much the same as a retail box minus the retail box.

    Damn, I would consider going if it was a 64-bit vista. Still a nice offer, thanks for sharing.
