Fishy offer

Something about this doesn't sound right. Maybe it's the use of Perl on an MSN site, or maybe because Windows XP Pro is $299 but those Xbox games are $19.

Well, I tried for XP Pro as well.

I can always use another free copy of XP Pro, compliments of M$!

I agree with Trangler, there is something very strange here. I ran a whois on the domain and it's not even in Microsoft's name, it's the Perseus Development Corporation. It appears that there have been a bunch of other msn surveys on the site, so I dont think it's a fraud...though I'm not understanding why Microsoft would go through a third party for suveys...hmmm....

XP Pro for me as well, got my fingers crossed. Granted I can pick it up for $25 (wow, college does have benefits!) but nothing can ever beat free!

What's really odd is they didn't use Javascript to valid the data. I completely went through the site by hitting "next" without checking anything and then inserting my name and address at the end. It certainly wasn't done by someone who takes thier job seriously.

How do you get XP Pro for $25 by being a college student? Is it a full version or upgrade or what?
