zhangm Supervisor Posted November 18, 2009 Supervisor Share Posted November 18, 2009 I got a copy. No, you can't tell what the "gift" is. From the document source, it looks like they composed the message in Microsoft Word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaikenGuro Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) So any update any one? We realized that we did not identify the thank you gift. This email is to let you know that you will receive a copy of Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate as a token of our appreciation. So much for: we will send you a copy of the commercially released version of Windows 7 Ultimate as a gift* within 3 months of its general availability I can't be critical of a free gift, obviously, but this whole thing has been bizarre.

Eric Veteran Posted December 3, 2009 Veteran Share Posted December 3, 2009 I received two different "gift" offers for WFP. The first was around January for Vista Ultimate, the second was a month or two later and said "Windows 7 Ultimate" within 3 months of general availability. Yesterday I got an updated mail saying they missed the gift description and it would be Vista Ultimate. :( I have 0 problems with Vista, but I'm not using it anymore. Hopefully the Windows 7 "gift" is still in the pipeline... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Veteran Posted January 6, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 6, 2010 Update: I got my Vista Ultimate from the WFP today finally. They sent an x86 and x64 disc shrink-wrapped together. No case, and they're marked as promotional copies. Strangely, they have separate keys, so in effect they sent me two copies. Still no word on the elusive Windows 7 Ultimate gift they mentioned mid-year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanMcQ Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I too received a copy of Vista Ultimate via UPS yesterday. It actually came from a company called Market Strategies International, who must be running the market research for Microsoft's Windows Feedback program. To bad I've long since made the switch to Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanMcQ Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 It isn't inconceivable that they're obliged to honor both offers. I wouldn't dismiss the Windows 7 e-mail until February. Actually, they say in the letter that came with the Vista gift that the program is going to be continuing for several years, so there is probably a good chance that future gifts will distributed to those who keep running WFP.

MS Bob 11 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I was furious when I read Vista Ultimate after being promised Windows 7 so I complained to Ballmer and yesterday got an email saying "(Those who got those emails) are qualified for the Windows 7 Ultimate offer 3 months after general release of Windows 7. The current deadline for this offer is January 22nd and they have no plans to delay or push this date out. " Relieved since then. Why can't the WinPanel respond?
