Free 1 Year Microsoft TechNet Plus Subscription (Consumer Services Professional Pilot)
TechNet Plus is a paid subscription service from Microsoft that allows IT professional subscribers to access premium resources to evaluate Microsoft technologies, plan deployments and support user’s IT environment. The main benefit of a TechNet Plus subscription is subscribers can download full-version software with no time limit or feature limit, including applying for free genuine and legit product keys.
TechNet Plus subscription normally costs USD $349 for new subscription and $249 for renewal without discount or promotion deal. Microsoft apparently is going to launch a new web-based professional support service offering. In order to gather feedback for the new offering, Microsoft develops a exclusive pilot program named TechNet Plus Consumer Services Professional Pilot. As a token of appreciation, participants will receive free one-year subscription to the TechNet Plus Direct worth GBP £237 or USD $349. Also included is free Microsoft support call worth British Pound £171. Survey takers also can win one of eleven Zune 4, one of six xBox Arcades, or one of five Flip Video Mino HD Camcorders in regular raffles throughout the course of the pilot program.
It’s highly unlikely that anybody can join the survey program right now, which is meant for IT professionals who service small businesses, home offices or individuals, and can last accessed via the URL below:

Once you complete the screening survey, instructions will be given on how to sign up for free TechNet Plus Direct full online subscription with 1 year validity via a registration URL.

I can confirm that my account was deactivated today after signing up for this (from programming.reddit). However, I did manage to grab a load of software and product keys first so it’s all good
By the way – illegal?! I don’t think so. As far as anyone knew this was a legitimate offer.

I signed up yesterday but wouldn’t have if I’d seen this first (saw the offer on Cheap Stingy Bargains). I don’t care about the DVDs; the direct downloads of ISOs comes in handy for testing.
I tried calling TechNet to straighten it out, but gave up after an hour on hold.

I don’t think the keys will become invalid though I could be wrong. Was a nice advertizement for me for technet, though.

Kalindi : What about the keys? I’m going to be pissed off if thousands of people just got Vista and the rest free.

So, Kalindi, are you a Microsoft employee or something?
Or is that just your opinion as a concerned citizen:
