Answer Quiz – Recieve Vista Beta 2

Microsoft added a little Windows Vista quiz to their websites which asks seven questions about the upcoming new operating system. If you answer the questions right (some users report that this even does not have to be the case) Microsoft will send you Beta 2 of Windows Vista. We all remember the free USB stick that Microsoft offered at their website and I can´t say for sure that every participant will receive a free Vista Beta 2 DVD but I think it could be different with the Beta this time.

You will have to use your Windows Passport login to take part in the quiz, if you don´t have an account you can easily create one. After answering the questions you have to give them the shipment information. They will send an verification email. That is all there is to do. Let us take a look at all questions and the correct answers to make it easier for you.

• The new operating system being launched by Microsoft in 2006 is called (Vista)
• Windows Vista brings _____________ to your world(Clarity)
• Windows Vista will be available first to businesses in(November 2006)
• Windows Vista Enterprise edition cannot be bought as an OEM license, it can be acquired only through Software Assurance.(True)
• The glass effect in Windows Vista is called (Aero)

   Sigh… When talking about Vista people usually think Areo Glass, Sidebar, eye candy, super cool new toys and etc…

   When I hear about it I think:

   1. I will need totally new hardware due to requirements and DRM restrictions

   2. I will be able to do much less with my media due to DRM

   3. Microsoft will own my hard drive due to TCPA

   4. Areo effects will make the system run sluggish unless you have several gigs of RAM.

   Neadless to say, I will not buy Vista. I will stay with XP till it’s time to get a new computer and then I will probably get the cheapest OEM version available.

   As it is right now, I mainly use Windows on my gaming machine. Everything else runs Linux :)

    When you’re done with the quiz and registration, it gives this link back to the main page: http://www.microsoft.com/india/offers/vista/default.aspx

    On the bottom of that page it says “Note: This Offer is valid in India only”
