just a note, I had done one of these sorta free deals awhile back (for a free copy of student one note, not from MS, but for a MS product), it took about 6 months to get it (i had long forgetten about it by the time it showed up :p )

Recieved this from Microjunk today:

Quote:

Thank you for your interest in the Mystery Solved Windows® licensing promotion. We've received your request for more information to help clarify Microsoft® Windows Desktop Licensing pre-loaded on the USB drive. Unfortunately, this Mystery Solved promotion was available in the U.S. only and while supplies last. Supply is depleted at this time, so we encourage you to please utilize the online alternative today. Simply download* the Windows Desktop Licensing reference files directly at: www.microsoft.com/mysterysolved/corp To help simplify Windows Desktop Licensing, keep these points in mind: There are two legal ways to acquire a full Windows Desktop license: through your hardware vendor (OEM/System Builder) or Full Packaged Product. Volume licensing covers Windows Desktop operating system upgrades only. OEM operating system licenses live and die with each PC–they are not transferable. Again, thank you for your interest in Mystery Solved and for helping us spread the word about proper Windows licensing. Sincerely, Microsoft Corporation

Guess the fact that I bought a macbook pissed them off

This one really stumped me ---

Quote:

The initial full Windows operating system license is not available via any Microsoft Volume License Program (Open, Select, Enterprise Agreement, Software Assurance) including Academic Volume License Programs (Campus, School Agreements) and programs designed for governmental acquiring. These Volume License Programs offer Windows upgrades only.

Funny, I don't recall that ever being mentioned by my vendor.
