Remember yesterday’s offer of a free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate, Office Ultimate and other MS software?  Yeah.  It’s gone.  But MS still wants to track your every move anyway as explained here:

“To participate in the Automated Feedback Program, you’ll need to download and install software on your home computer. You will be installing a small application called “Windows Feedback Panel” on your computer. This application starts up automatically every time you log in to Windows and silently gathers and records information about the use of your home computer on an ongoing basis.”

I have a friend named Winston Smith, who works at the Ministry of Truth.  He said this is normal and that our well-being depends on knowing that BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU.

Officially MS replied to those still seeking the “deal”, “Thank you for your interest in the feedback program. Due to high volume, we have reached our ‘while supplies last’ limit and have closed our free product incentive on 12/11/2007 at 2pm.”

They are rumored to soon have a new contest, however.  I believe, according to unnamed sources, that it involves an all expenses paid trip to Oceania in return for just a little bit of personal information.
