I haven't....not yet....

JimM

Not yet. If anyone receives it, please let us know.

Dee

No, not yet
Been wondering if it will ever show up...

John Mueller

I forgot all about it

ChrisJ

It's kind of like cereal-box toys... you forget about it long after you ordered, then one day it shows up and is a great surprise.

Red Bull

Yeah, it's been quite a few weeks since I sent out for mine. Still havn't gotten it. Hopefully I get it soon since it's been around 6 weeks I believe. I'll have to check. It said to allow 6-8 weeks for delivery.

DanielB

Seymore

GraphyFotoz

Hmmmmmmmm...
Sorta changes ones view of MS as "the scammer/spammer".

I've received nothing either. I would bet that my junk mail increases now that they have my address though. What a scam.

Keep in mind that the fine print says "only while supplies last" ...

*This offer is available in the U.S. only while supplies last. USB drive is 16MB in size. Limit one per customer. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery.
