It sounded like a scam: visit this website, watch a few videos and get a free copy of Windows Vista or Office 2007.
But the PowerTogether.com website was a legitimate Microsoft-run site. Aimed at software developers and architects, the site offered free copies of both titles to those who watched at least three web-based seminars on each of the new products.
Unfortunately, for those looking to score their free copy, Microsoft said it has already received sign-ups from the 30,000 people it had hoped to register for the program. The site now says "sold out" when people come to register for the giveaway.
