    Ars reader gets free Win7 after complaint to Ballmer

    An Ars Technica reader from the Cayman Islands was annoyed enough that he couldn't throw his own official Windows 7 Party that he e-mailed Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to complain. The result? A free Windows 7 Party Pack before anyone else gets theirs.

    Good for him, glad to hear that the big boys do listen and take notice of the little fellow.
    I know he said in his reply that he didn't expect anything but I think it shows good PR on the part of Microsoft the action they took.

    I bet ballmer is getting swamped with about a million email complaining from other people about the exact same thing.

A site I use has some technical manuals available for members to use, but they're in RAR format. My Win 7 can't open these to view. Can anyone recommend a free download for RAR files that's safe with no malware? Many thanks.
I'm looking for a free PDF Reader. I've been using Foxit for years and looking for something different. I'm test driving Nitro Reader and so far it seems pretty good. Anyone know of any problems with Nitro Reader, or know of a better free Reader I can try? Thanks, David
