As 2007 rolls to a close, Microsoft isn't letting up on its efforts to push
Windows Vista. The latest promotion is aimed at subscribers Microsoft
Developer Network (MSDN) or TechNet who provided Microsoft with Vista
testing feedback.

"As we approach the one year anniversary of launching Windows Vista we want
to remember you as one of the many people who downloaded and tested one of
the Windows Vista Beta or Release Candidates through TechNet or MSDN. YOU
were a significant contributor to the development of Windows Vista. Your
participation was extremely valuable to Microsoft, and we would like to say,
'Thank You!'" according to an e-mail message I received about the promotion
at the end of December.

Under terms of "The Ultimate Offer," testers can go to any retail or online
store and buy a copy of Vista Ultimate (full or upgrade version) for full
price and Microsoft will match it with a second complimentary Vista Ultimate
Upgrade product key.

To participate in the promotion, invited testers should go to the Vista
Tester Offers site. The promotion ends January 15, 2008.

Regarding "...The latest promotion is aimed at subscribers Microsoft
Developer Network (MSDN) or TechNet...." TechNet Direct subscribers can
download all versions of Vista and TechNet Plus subscribers received Vista
DVDs - all with MAKs (multiple activation keys).

I've been waiting for my VS2008 DVD or image. Cannot download from the
website--run into some technical problems. The image appears to be
downloaded but when I try to open it with WinImage only the Readme.txt file
shows up. It has 255 bytes or something. The image as seen in Windows
Explorer is 2.8Gb or so.

Have you gotten the DVD with VS2008? I've heard some people have.

One more important detail.
Must also have checked the box about receiving other offers.
Many leave that box unchecked so as not to get unnecessary 3rd party
offers.
We now know what else is considered an offer.

Generally all eligible will receive an Email.
Without the Email, it is probably safe to assume you are not eligible.

Because Microsoft assumes there are honest customers out there.
