All Microsoft Products (for home use) for free! (UK/US/Canada only)

[bobnugget]

Microsoft are doing a very strange deal at the moment - you can get a free 3 month TechNet subscription, which allows you to download all of their products (not for use in a production environment) for free. The downloaded products should work forever (well, they'll probably BSOD every week, but hey!). Note that you have to fill out surveys for three months to do this!

Here's where I found it:

Seems legit, and the downloads are all from Microsoft - I've posted this page and not the MS one as there are different links for each country.

Just been looking through - doesn't seem to have Visual Studio in there... It does include VPC 6 & 7 for our PowerPC using friends though!

You don't have to fill out surveys.

I get this:

Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its
dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is
temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure
that it is spelled correctly.

Have they withdrawn the offer?

[EDIT] It now appears that the offer wasn't meant for the general public.

It no longer works, and it looks like anyone who had a subscription no longer does so anymore. Good thing I got 7 Vista Ultimate keys, 4 Home Premium Keys and a Office 07 Ultimate key.

Yep, mine is dead too. I got a couple of copies of office/project/etc, a few copies of Vista, and, of course, MS-DOS 6.22 & Windows 3.11
