After 3 months of "monitoring" and 5 months of waiting, I finally got my free copy of Vista Ultimate in the mail today for participating in Microsoft's Windows Feedback Program. During the process, I used my old laptop and installed the monitoring software that was required, hooked it up to my network, and left it alone as it sent Microsoft data each day. In March I got an email saying I've fulfilled my requirements and last month another one verifying my mailing address. Well, I'm off to set my rig for a dual boot

Here are a couple of pics, from my cellphone, on how it arrived.
