Heyy! Long has started up his contest on his website, istartedsomething, and all you gotta do is enter your name and email. Simple, right?

Ok, but you also have a second chance to win if you run Windows Vista, and are willing to participate in the Customer Experience Improvement Program for Vista.

I definitely appreciate the effort taken to present Microsoft's Windows Vista as a great OS to use and not give into the unnecessary negativity surrounding Vista.

Just wondering... has anyone here entered the second part of Long Zheng's contest?

[SkyFuser]

Nope, don't have Vista.

My computer can't run vista, again a disadvantage for me, like so many others...

[SkyFuser]

I prefer XP just fine Way more programs XP compatible.

Yep, it was quite painless. Download the app. Type in your email address, click verify and it's done. I suppose, if you're part of the tinfoil hat brigade, you could enable CEIP, click verify, then disable CEIP. I didn't, though. I think if M$ wanted to know how many times its users go to sites about girls or cups, they'd need a data harvesting department the size of Texas. If, OTOH, this helps them figure out how to fix the three-way problem I'm having with nVidia, Deskscapes, and Steam, then more power to them.

For those who are entering the bonus part of the contest and don't know where to find the CEIP:

The CEIP control panel can be found within: Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Problem Reports and Solutions > Customer Experience Improvement Program (link in the bottom left corner)
