OMG- look at this (http://kcp.codepoets.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6479)


Microsoft has a form on their website that you can fill out to get a copy of Windows XP SP2 on CD at no charge (with free shipping by Purolator).

I ordered one.

Then, at the Order Confirmation screen, I clicked Back, then Refresh, then Retry (since the form had to be posted again). I did this 149 times.

I got 150 order-confirmation emails.

At this point, I figured the monkey sticking the labels on the envelopes would get really familiar with my name and start asking questions, or that they would get wise and send me a box of 150 of them.

So you can imagine my surprise when I get a call from Purolator saying "we have two huge bags of envelopes here for you.....".

Thanks for increasing the cost of all other Microsoft software.

They have limited it to 10 times now. And besides, even if we exploit say $5,000, which is everyone actually did that, Microsoft wouldn't care. Microsoft makes billions a year, a few hundred, even a few thousand, people online won't effect them.
