Geeky Drunk

This Geeky Drunk received an email from good ole’ Microsoft celebrating the one-year birthday of little Vista, and thanking me for participating in testing of Windows Vista Beta or Release Candidates. To show their supposed appreciation, Microsoft has several special offers available exclusively to me! That’s right, just to me . . . I must have been a pretty darn good tester. “To show our appreciation, we have several special offers exclusively available to you.”

Offer 1: The ULTIMATE OFFER

Purchase a standalone full package Windows Vista Ultimate product, full or upgrade version, and they’ll match that with a second complimentary Windows Vista Upgrade product key. You can use this (well this offer is only for me, so I can use this) to upgrade a XP or Windows Vista computer to Windows Vista Ultimate. Then I can play that cool Hold ‘Em Poker game.

Offer 2: One hundred $250 gift certificates

I can enter for a chance to win a $250 Amazon gift certificate by taking a short online survey. Of course, as this offer is just for me, I am bound to win!

Offer 3: Win a ASUS W5fe computer signed by Bill Gates.

It is a very powerful, small and light weight computer which incorporates the Windows SideShow technology. This prize is pretty cool. You read e-mail, play music, and access photos and other content via a secondary 2.8-inch, full-color display integrated into the outer lid of the laptop. I can’t wait for Bill to send this to me!

If you believe you qualify for this offer and haven’t received the email, well no big surprise because it is just for me. You could always head over to WindowsVistaEvalComp.com and log in with your Windows Live id (the email you use for testing Windows products) . . . maybe they like you, too. I kinda doubt it.

So, despite being an obvious ploy to get me to purchase another copy of Windows Vista Ultimate, I’m going to get at least one $250 Amazon gift card and a $2000 laptop! I guess I’ll buy one more copy Bill, but this is the last one.

Offer void in Utah and Alaska. Happy Birthday Vista Baby!
(Sorry you have to give yourself away so soon…)
