well, thanks but i already looked at that page a while back from when i
emailed them and they sent me a copy of the FAQ via email. however, i may
look at it again.

besides when they contacted me saying that i met all the requirements
qualifying me to receive my free product, the email showed my most recent
street address. the nice thing was that the email also came to my most
recent email address.

if that is all up to date, what other contact info can be updated (if
possible)?

and thanks again for that information. hopefully someone can answer that
thing i was asking earlier.

I was reading this page and it said that if you were participating in the
program it would send you an email for an entry in the sweepstakes. how come
I have not gotten an entry for the sweepstakes yet? is there a reason for
why I have not gotten an entry by email yet? I am enrolled in the
program....

You need to contact the folks running the program with questions such as
this, we really can't give any answers here. Sorry!

Steven, as others have said, your best (and perhaps only) course of
action is to contact whoever it is that is running the program:

i am trying to contact them, thats why i am asking here. maybe someone here
can help. maybe some people here are in the program as well and have some of
the same questions as well or maybe they have already gotten the answers
that i am looking for. sometimes you have to ask fellow users and not the
company you are doing the work for....

well, i am happy to say that i got my copy of Windows Vista ultimate
Edition; the free product that i asked for when i signed up for the Windows
feedback program. i guess signing up for this program was worth it.in my
opinion the 32bit version of vista runs better than the 64bit version of
vista, from my experiences. i have not used the 32bit copy of ultimate yet,
i am running the 64bit now, but i do have a 32bit copy of business edition.
and for some reason the 32bit version ran a bit faster and had less
compatibility issues. why is that. why is the 64bit version of vista running
into so many issues and running a bit slower? isn't it supposed to run
faster that the 32bit? i can understand about certian compatibility issues,
but performence issues?

i have a tc4400. one of the software piece that will not work in 64bit vista
is the quick launch button software. it installs, but it just does not work
for the tablet stuff.

i have a question about the windows feedback program. it said that on april
15th there would be a new version of the software to download. well, i never
got a chance to visit the web site the web site on the 15th and the software
never updated itself automatically. so, how do i download the most recent
version of the software for the windows feedback program?
