Yup, I said it. I love spyware. Well, not in general, but when I heard via Lifehacker that I could get a free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate in exchange for installing a feedback program on my desktop, I jumped at the chance. For three months I had to run this feedback data collection program on a computer. At the conclusion of the three months, I would be shipped a free copy of Vista Ultimate.
I did not really care about the data collection because I only use my desktop for a media server now-a-days, so there was nothing about usage habits they could really collect. I’ll let someone look at my computing habits and settings on a computer I don’t use for three months in exchange for a 200+ dollar software license.
My package shipped today.

I could make a Pro-Mac comment, but I’ve done that fairly recently. Instead, congratulations on getting free stuff. I’m a big fan of that. Did you get free food from the Thai festival today?
Keep us informed as to how you like Vista.
Ive been using it since Nov of last yr.
Other than the BSOD’s for software MS does not like, its OK.
