Im a bit skeptical because it doesnt use SSL. Looks legit though since its Microsoft and Novell.

Thoughts?

Wow I really want to fill that out but I doubt its legit.

[CrAsHnBuRnXp]

Im trying to find an email addy that I can use to send that site into Microsoft for question. Dont know which one to use.

Finally, a way of making Linux and Windows work better together!

C'mon, it's definately not a legit site.

[stordoff]

Could be legit, according to the WHOIS, it appears the domain was registered by Microsoft and is on the Microsoft nameservers (Correct me if I am wrong)

[Ehstii]

well, i will soon find out if its legit guys.

i just filled it out and it said my braclet should be mailed to me within a few business days.

I've taken the plunge. Let y'all know.

Please let me know I recently lost my 4gb flash drive and I really need another one T.T

Microsoft has done this in the past. The problem is that it is a "while supplies last" deal. So they have a very limitted supply of flash drive, but it is a great way to get a bunch of peoples information so they can spam the crap out of you.

[fitseries3]

i gave them a throw away email address so im not worried.

I just filled it in.Wonder if we'll get a usb bracelet *hopes*

[Nitro-Max]

(subject to availability) lol you wont get one.

[Graogrim]

Microsoft has offered this kind of promotion in the past. It's probably legit, but since half the world probably knows about it already actually receiving a drive is not a certainty.

[ShadowFold]

I just signed up :D I hope I get one!

[CrAsHnBuRnXp]

Why dont sites that do giveaways like this not use an SSL?

[stordoff]

Is there really a need to use SSL?

[Graogrim]

Depends on what kind of information the site is requesting. If they just want a throwaway email address then it's no big deal. If it's your bank account information or social security number, then you don't want that data sent out plaintext.

[stordoff]

It's only requesting name, address, email and a few general questions about your business. Pretty standard stuff

[Thermopylae_480]

There is a spelling error.

[tiys]

care to elaborate?

[newtekie1]

i gave them a throw away email address so im not worried.

But I'm sure you gave them a real Mailing Address, spam doesn't always come in the form of an e-mail.

[Thermopylae_480]

care to elaborate?

virtualisation, should be spelled with a z.

[CrAsHnBuRnXp]

I feel safer with my data being sent encrypted. :)

Microsoft and Novell signed a deal a few years back where they said that they will work together on making Linux and Windows have more interoperability. Yes the sites is legit, but that doesn't mean you'll get a flash drive. They probably have very few of them, and only the early birds will get one.

OMG Senior Moderator turns into spelling nazi! LOL. ;)
