No, the promotion seemed to end on March 5, so I'm guessing they took
the site down after that.

I got a mailer (Postal mail) to my home about trying ASP.net.  It was
from Microsoft (or some outsourcer for Microsoft) and it seemed to be
slanted toward getting CF Developers moved to ASP.net (or at least to
try it out).  They had a website up (checkoutaspnet.com) and if you
signed up, they send you a FREE full licensed copy of Windows 2003
Server Enterprise Edition and some ASP related materials, including
creation software and such.  I signed up and received mine yesterday and
was quite suprised.  The Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition was a
full-version with 25 CALs.  Then, on top of all of that, I got chosen
for a prize (1 in 50) of a ViewSonic V37 Pocket PC.

It all seems too good to be true.  Did anyone see this promotion?  Any
idea where it came from?  It all is very legit and everything that I've
gotten is definitely from Microsoft.  I still don't think I'll convert
to ASP.net for my primary language, but I'll definitely try it out now,
and who knows, I may use it for some projects.

I just thought I'd see if anyone else got this promotion or would know
how they got ahold of my name.  I just moved into my current home 9
months ago, and I haven't signed up for much stuff with my new home
address.  Anyone with info...I'd love to hear.  I feel like a kid in a

Well, I was going to announce it on the list, but I had a little
reference number I had to enter and I wasn't sure how legit it was
anyways.  I mean it all looked good, but if it didn't come through or
everyone got a ton of spam afterwards, I didn't want to be held
responsible :-) Sorry. I'll let everyone know if I hear something else.

RE: Checkoutaspnet.com ?? Anyone heard of it?

2004-04-08 Thread Josh Remus
I did the same thing, received my copy, and was told I won a PocketPC.  I
received the same PocketPC when I signed up for some other marketing
promotion from Microsoft.  It's okay, but not great (the PDA at least).  I
assumed I got the promotion either through my MCSE or my MSDN subscription.
I also get that Microsoft magazine, could be there too.

I AM looking forward to using that copy of server 2003 though.  I have to
assume it's legit.  At a minimum, I would argue I could have believed it was
legit.
