US only -.- Is it so much more expensive to contact Microsoft f.e. Germany or any other place around the world and tell them to send the package to a customer? Since the programm collects the data automatically, the language shouldn’t matter.
Not. I´m from Brazil and participated.
Ops, Google and me Fail. The google translated so wrong end of the text.
Well, you can participate, but you can not get the gift

Damn, I wish I would have known about this program when it was still available, only 500 people though? That number is way too small.

Well i been using 1st build released to testers then went to 7068 the to the most recent 7100. i only dream of getting a free copy. i think that 500
is way too Low as well. Too too few!!
but i sure like it and just might buy it when it’s released commercially, IF it’s not too costly.
I’d love nothing more to be offered a discount
cause i made the mistake of buying Vista business.
Yea yea i know. My Bad..lol
Yep, I recieved this e-mail, but what about the other Microsoft software? When I signed up for Windows Feedback program, I picked MS Office 2007. Will I still get this? It’s been three months now since I signed up for Windows Feedback program, but no word about the promiced software.
btw I live in USA.

I would love to get a chance to win a free copy of windows 7 upgrade because it would be a great addition to my landscape business. I have heard how much better it is compared to windows vista. Please let me be one of the people that recieves this accomedation i would be so greatfull.
dammit.
windows[in codename 7] should improve upon showing errors .It should show [for eg] cant instal this programme rather to show error no. 1554fds564…..
I did sign up for this and tested same, but never received my free link for windows 7. I have vista ultimate now.
I managed to get selected for both the Office 2007 gift and the copy of Windows 7 Ultimate. I have received neither. I can’t get a response at all from MS. I logged into the feedback program and they showed everything was working fine on my end.
Any ideas?
How can I try the windows 7 ultimate by myself,
