I joined after seeing this thread on FT. I was sitting at 1380 points and wondering when I'd ever get more (since the referral program isn't an option any more); then they started adding 10 points a week if you logged in. I was at 1410 today (just waiting to hit the 1500 pt mark).
Today they loaded another training course: "Portable Media Center." Its worth 200 pts.
I ordered a copy of Win XP Pro for a friend at work.
Date Ordered
8/30/2004 9:27:15 PM Windows XP Pro
Thanks to the original poster for starting the thread.

AFAIK it didn't mention the small print anywhere, it just mentioned that you had to sell these devices, and as a Microsoft developer we DO, but as it was all over Fatwallet, Bensbargains etc... I assume they were going to have to place an order for at least a million in cybertools, pens etc...
