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, please come pick them up at the depot on Grant Timmins Drive".

Here's the complete link to the story : http://unf-unf.de/show.php?did=673

It doesn't seem like they've ordered 3000 copies. I mean, it would take forever to order.

I tested to order a few and noticed that they were limiting each person to 5 cds. However, they store only the email, so you can choose a non-existant one and continue ordering. Lol. :whistling

Just ordered a few now. ;)

EDIT...
Microsoft limits the quantity of Windows XP Service Pack 2 CD-ROMs that may be ordered by a single customer to 5 CD-ROMs. Please note that 1 CD can be installed on several computers running Windows XP, and can be shared with others. Accordingly, you may not order more than the 5 CD-ROMs limit.

While I can see the humor in this, ordering that many CDs puts stress on them and may deprive people actually needing/wanting a legitimate CD for update reasons. :huh:
