Free USB Flash Drive from Microsoft if anyone wants one
http://www.microsoft.com//windowsxp/mysterysolved/corp/default.mspx

Just click on Valuable Information at the right.

The answers are "2" for the first question, and "True" for the rest.

Enjoy :P

2. They were wondering the same thing on the forum where I found out
about it. Apparently, past offers like it form MS have been reformattable with no problems.

8. Same way you would a floppy drive basically.
Most operating systems will just treat it as a removable drive and you can format it as you would any other drive.

3. Cool.. thanks!
It's hard to believe I would get anything free from Microsoft, but we'll see.

4. Free is good, but not the licensing agreement.
By clicking "accept," I'd consent to receive "all information from Microsoft electronically."

Bleah. I've already got a jump drive, anyway.

But if I were already signed up with MS, this would have been a good deal. It is nice of you to bring it to our attention.

5. You just need a junk e-mail address as a dumping ground
I use a gmail address for all that crap, it dumps everything there, I purge it once a month or so and never have to look at it. :P
