i didnt get mine, but i did get a 512mb drive free-after-rebate and put SLAX on it.

BTW, go to newegg.com if you actually want a flash drive. You can get some pretty big ones for 15 bucks or so.

Been 8 weeks, no flash drive in sight.

However, I may treat myself to one from Newegg next payday.

Hey, look what Microsoft sent me!

Thank you for your interest in the Mystery Solved Windows® licensing promotion. We've received your request for more information to help clarify Microsoft® Windows Desktop Licensing pre-loaded on the USB drive. Unfortunately, this Mystery Solved promotion was available in the U.S. only and while supplies last. Supply is depleted at this time, so we encourage you to please utilize the online alternative today.

Simply download* the Windows Desktop Licensing reference files directly at:

www.microsoft.com/mysterysolved/corp

To help simplify Windows Desktop Licensing, keep these points in mind:

There are two legal ways to acquire a full Windows Desktop license: through your hardware vendor (OEM/System Builder) or Full Packaged Product.
Volume licensing covers Windows Desktop operating system upgrades only.
OEM operating system licenses live and die with each PC–they are not transferable.

Again, thank you for your interest in Mystery Solved and for helping us spread the word about proper Windows licensing.

Sincerely,
Microsoft Corporation

It's not a USB drive! Lucky me!

There seems to be some confusion, though. They seem to think I wanted their licensing reference files. All I wanted was a free USB drive. Hmmm.

Get a free one from Audi instead...

Oh, wait a minute, post #30:

"From the Audi board, apparantly Audi caught wind that their promo made it out well beyond their intended audience and pulled the plug."
