Click on the image of the USB drive "Valuable Information - Get Yours".

N.B. I don't know the size of the drive or whether it's writable.

That was easy. The answers are already filled in.

although, looking at the MS site, i think the answwer to #1 sould be "2"

"There are two legal ways to acquire a full Windows Desktop license: through your hardware vendor (OEM/System Builder) or Full Packaged Product"

Thanks! ^ Hope it's more than 64!

So how much of the memory will be used up with this "valuable information"? (I think the answer they have in mind for the 1st q is, "buy it.") tls

Unless they have a way to "lock" in the info, I'd imagine you could just delete it.

Thanks OP (and Matt for answer #1).

Thanks for the post ^

And matt_....ditto on the thank you for the answer to #1.

Did anyone else get one of the 32MB thumb drives that IBM gave away last year with a white paper on it? The file took up ~7MB IIRC and I couldn't figure out how to reformat the drive afresh. It wasn't a simple matter as it would be for a normal memory stick: this seemed to involve having to short out the drive and then reformatting it. Total pain. Nice thing about the freebie was that it came with a 2-1/2' USB cable, which is super handy in itself.

FYI, its read only memory. This was discussed on another forum I'm on. You can't delete the documents off.
