I followed the link that was posted here to get a free USB Hard Drive from Microsucks!

I applied and received numerous e-mail assuring me that I would get one.

After waiting the required 8 weeks; I now received an e-mail telling me they ran out.

Gee! f----d over by Microsucks again! Who'da thunk!

I have to admit the combination "free USB Hard Drive" made my hoax alarm start beeping to be honest...

If i would've been able to warn u I'd have said "I told u so" lol

anything 'free'..especially coming in from a name like  'microsucks....i'd be very very wary.....

If it sounds to good to be true,.....it probably is.

Well now they've got your address and phone number - prepare for the onslot of advertisers mailing and phoning you as well as spam. I'd also delete any links to their site and run every av tool you've got. hope yor firewall is good too. Sorry to hear it was a rip.

I was being facicious(spelling?)!

It was a genuine offer from Microsoft! In fact you had to run a program verifying that your copy of Windows was genuine (and legal)!

When a company repeatedly assures you that you will get something and you don't; it kinda pisses you off!

Thanks for letting me rant!

sounds like they were looking for illegitimate copies of software..

I still think it was a hoax.

How can he run out of those trinkets with all his money?!

LOL

By ordering exactly 0 usb disks and not giving any of them away

Sounds like Microdick is guilty of perpretrating an interstate (or if you are outside the US an international) fraud scheme over the internet.  I would bet that some lawyer would love to bite into this little tidbit and file a class action lawsuit on behalf of all the people Microdick promised a USB drive to and never got one.   The news media loves to hear about this kind of stuff also.  If I were you I would call Microdick's attention to what I stated about the interstate fraud scheme over the internet and threaten to get the FBI  and news media involved.  If you are not in the US that is OK because the FBI and Microdick are.  TMGraphics is right.  Bill Gates is the richest man in the whole world.   There is no way he should have run out.   Call them on this!  Please do not take this lying down.

no buying 0 disks would have been msirepresentation and could have got sued I'm sure he bought one (which his nephew prolly has :) )

If I were you I would not only demand your USB drive, but also free operating systems for life. 

he he, always  fun to see the mac fans fighting a lost battle :P

I also applied for that free USB drive, and got the same "sorry we ran out but you can download the files from the following link..." email

Goddammit, I don't want your damn files, i just want the free USB drive.

I have yet to see any convincing proof that this was a real genuine m$ offer. I still doubt its even m$ who's behind this scam. If stuff like this was true i'd have 50 spare vaio laptops stacked in the corner of my office and I'd be flying to the bahama's for free with 50 of my friends taking enough free viagra samples with us to spend the entire 3 weeks vacation not paying a dime for hotelrooms 'cuz the old hotel owner would be more then happy to take the viagra as payment

The form was on Microsoft's website. When I went to the link, it was actually at www.microsoft.com
