I wonder if Microsoft would be interested in hearing about your offer.
Think I'll send them a message and find out if what you're doing is on

Yes, I'm sure it's a real good idea to send a check or money order to
your PO Box. I'm also equally sure you can be trusted (right).

Learn to use capitalization properly, your shouting makes you look like
an idiot in addition to being a spammer. Besides, in the time that you
are apparently taking in wasting our bandwidth with your tripe, you
could actually be learning to sell legitimately.

And the same info has been out for free

Ok, One piece I found so far
http://members.microsoft.com/partner/help/howtoregister.aspx
Register as a Microsoft Partner, and get NFR software, betas etc.

The guys on this newsgroup know of, or even host, a lot of free
software, and run and update sites.

And do NOT say, "it's free, but we'll charge to tell you how to get
it".

If I find some more info, I'll damnwell put it up for FREE!

I teach some adult ed PC classes and people kept asking me about "Get
free software" spam and EBAY offers. So I went to ebay and bought two
different ones for a few bucks each. And, yes, the deal is ...

1. Register (free) as a development partner and attend MSFT events to
get lots of free software. However, the software is often beta, time
limited, and/or not upgradeable. However, the free t-shirts and hats are
high quality and last for years.

2. If you are a teacher/instructor you can get some good discounts from
independent retailers on MSFT products.

There is nothing magic about this - just someone making money by selling
freely available knowledge by describing in a dramatic and mysterious
way.

LOL! Love the description - great apparel offers as well as turning
Google searches and downloads into some kind of arcane occult practice.
Reminds me of some of the "secrets of financial success" seminars I've
attended... free of course. ;-)

For developers this is a good deal. Details ...

What the spam refers to is the "knowledge" that if you sign up for MSFT's
developmer network, you will get invited to attend their regional get-
togethers. Once there you'll get free shirts, hats, coupons for discounts
on software purchases via retail stores and mail order, and free software
CDs. The CDs are sometimes early release/beta, and at any rate typically
can't be upgraded, but usually don't time out. They send out some email and
mail info/offers as well, but on a limited basis based on past atendance at
these events and .

For the time invested this can be a very good deal for an active software
developer. As for what this "knowledge" is worth (to quote the spammer),
you just got it free right here.

As a developer, the only "free" event I have seen MS offer was the product
launch of Office 2000 and we got a free Internet Explorer 5 cd. The majority
of postal mail I get from MS are adverts for expensive ($1000's) seminars
and workshops. Even a single day seminar was around US$400.
