Microsoft Offers Free Software in Exchange for Your Privacy
Microsoft Offers Free Software in Exchange for Your Privacy
Want a free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate direct from Microsoft, no piracy required? Don't care about your privacy? Have I got a deal for you! Microsoft is offering up free copies of Vista Ultimate, Office Ultimate, Money Plus Premium, Student with Encarta Premium and Streets and Trips, all for free. All you've gotta do is allow them to track your every move for a few months.
Yes, Microsoft is looking for people to help test its new "Windows Feedback Program," and isn't afraid to reel people in with bribes. You'll have all of your computer usage tracked for three months, and you'll also need to submit to surveys every two weeks. As long as you don't mind Papa Gates and his menagerie knowing just how often you look at your ex-girlfriends Facebook profile, it's actually a pretty serious amount of free software for almost no work at all on your part. Not that I'll be taking part, mind you. I respect myself and my privacy. But hey, don't let me stop you. I won't tell; your computer will do that for me.

If you want to start the program and get yourself some free MicroSoft stuff then head on over to:
MicroSoft FeedBack Program:

So it sounds like an easy way to get some freebies, enrol in the program use the freebies on a computer. Fill out a few surveys and everyone's happy.
So how much would you sell your privacy for.?
