win 7 free?

I remember getting an email a while back about getting a free copy of windows 7 for running the feedback tool for 3 months straight, and submitting feedback atleast once. Anyone else get this email? Do you think I will actually get a copy? Not sure who to talk too, to get a true answer.

The release candidate is still available at MS for a short while, I believe.

Do not know about the mail.

Nope, never received any email to that effect, and I've been running it with and sending comments at least a couple of times a week since before the public beta came out.
If You do hear anything else to that, Please post as cheap is good but free is definitely better.

I think the Free copies are to those that were enrolled in the official Win7 beta program.

Let's assume the email was vaild. The OP is misinterpreting the message in recall. Use the RC for free. Please provide feedback.

Let's now assume the email was not valid. Better to have ignored it, as it seems the OP did.

I got a free copy of Vista Ultimate for being in Windows Vista feed back program. (I think it was called that) I haven't seen anything like that yet for anything Windows 7 related.
