From the Microsoft page:
You can use this website to sign up for one or both parts of the program, but note the following restrictions:

* Participation is currently limited to US residents of 18 years and older.
* You are the owner of the computer you use for this program.
* The automated feedback program is offered to Windows Vista and Windows XP customers only.
* The survey feedback program applies to all versions of Windows.
* Microsoft, comScore, and MarketTools employees are not eligible to participate.

Too bad

I signed up for both and installed the software as well as completed the survey, but did not see where we could choose from those products as a reward. Where does one go to choose from those products?

Thanks, Ed!

I'll try to ask Microsoft if they would donate a couple of copies of their MS Streets & Trips 2008 to Laptop GPS World members. If they agree, then we could have a mini-contest, just like the iNav iGuidance one that is just ending now .

That sounds good to me! I was thinking of picking one up for the holidays but if Microsoft is kind enough to donate a copy or two then I may hold off and try my luck. Keep us posted
