lots of poster for computer geeks
 
You can order a 3-poster kit about computer security HERE from Micro$oft free of charge.
Now you won't get only 3 different posters but 25 of each. That makes a total of 75 posters :w00t:

Offer only for US and Canada

Thanks for the link, however I find it interesting that microsoft is making posters about computer security...

Ordered a set for myself.. very cool.

edit: heres a piccie

Those are cool. Will have to show them to my programming teacher so she can get them for the class.

merkerguitars 01-15-2004 07:18 PM

That will be perfect for my school :)

The_Dude 01-15-2004 07:34 PM

just got me some and sent an email to some of my highschool teachers about this.

feelgood 01-15-2004 07:47 PM

What? M$oft ran out of idea?

MSD 01-15-2004 09:11 PM

I got myself a pack. Now I'll just wait for them to show up and discover that there's a big shipping charge :)

tritium 01-15-2004 11:11 PM

Nice. I ordered several kits. :)

krazykemist 01-16-2004 03:14 AM

Ordered a kit to share with the office. Only way I can see them charging for shipping, since no CC info was taken, is by COD and that will just be declined.

Peetster 01-16-2004 04:44 AM

I ordered as well, using a unique email address. If I start getting herbal viagra ads to that address, we'll know how Microsoft is paying for this.

Same here

Redlemon 01-16-2004 09:38 AM

PDF's are also available on that page.

devnull 01-16-2004 10:12 AM

Just ordered myself some, thanks a bunch. Not a damned clue what I'll do with them, but hey! Free is Free!

crashoverride 01-16-2004 11:42 AM

if each poster weights 0.5 pound, then the total weight must be at least 38 pounds which makes a shipping cost of $25.43 to ship from the washington state to the east coast. :crazy: this does not include the oversized package fee or any discount M$ gets.

bonehed1 01-16-2004 12:29 PM

I just ordered 7 kits so lets see how much crap mail I get to my email address.

sandeep 01-16-2004 01:27 PM

crashoverride,
Half a pound for a poster seems a bit unreasonable. I've bought 4 x 6 foot posters that didn't quite weigh that much.

u r right just saw that the posters are only 10x14, not a lot bigger than a letter sized paper :(

expected it to be much bigger (like the nvidia one for example).

BoCo 01-16-2004 07:19 PM

I got a set, too. They'll be great for gettin' the ladies. ;)

Snakebyt 01-16-2004 09:21 PM

thanks for the heads up, i got me a set of them

VF19 01-17-2004 01:23 PM

Yeah, got a set.

Good way to cover up the terrible wallpaper.

DEI37 01-17-2004 02:24 PM

Just ordered me a set. Like a few of you, I have NO idea what I'll do with 75 posters, but I'm sure I can come up with something.

JStrider 01-17-2004 11:33 PM

my school has been posting the hackers ahead ones in the dorms... and i just had to steal one off the wall...

bermuDa 01-18-2004 02:22 AM

free is free, i just submitted my order :) thanks!

cowudders14 01-18-2004 09:08 AM

Just a shame that us brits can't join in the fun! Still, I've downloaded the PDF's... :)

There used to be a method whereby you could "forward mail" for free, even if it's to another country. Has the US post office got wise to this one yet? The UK one doesn't seem to have...
If not, any chance someone could "forward" me a set...?

Tester123 01-18-2004 02:34 PM

how the heck do i place an order...it reads "proceed to CART"

Jam 01-18-2004 03:43 PM

one question... why is that domain kpcorp and not microsoft?

edit im an idiot

merkerguitars 02-25-2004 05:43 AM

Dear Eric,

Thank you for requesting the Microsoft Security Poster series. Due to unexpectedly high demand, each household will receive 15 posters so that we may accommodate as many requests as possible. Please allow 2-4 weeks for shipment. We apologize for the delay and thank you for your patience.

For immediate access to the poster images, Adobe Acrobat versions of these posters are available for free download at http://www.microsoft.com/education/?ID=SecurityPosters.

Thank you again for your order,
Microsoft Education Solutions Group

WOW!!! Free Micro$oft Advertizement to hang on my walls!

Super...

Lock~Down 02-25-2004 04:11 PM

Doesn't seem like they are sending them out at all anymore. I hope they do something similar soon with new posters.

tritium 02-26-2004 11:39 AM

Actually, they are. I received an email from MS today that stated that due to overwhelming demand, they were only sending out 15 per person and to expect them within 2-4 weeks. I did, however, place my order some time ago.

the_marq 02-26-2004 12:27 PM

I ordered mine on Jan 19th, I know for sure because they sent me an order receipt.

So far nothing has shown up in the mail...but I never really thought they would... :|

I don't see a place to order them on the site anymore. Unless I am just missing it.

Gone....

from the site:

"Due to high volumes of demand, the security posters are no longer available on request. However, Adobe Acrobat versions of each poster are still available for free download"

World's richest man can't afford to be giving away thousands of posters people! Posters cost money! Stamps cost money! If Bill gave everyone a poster he might only be worth 42 billion. And what if he fell even further, to 39.9 billion? Then Warren Buffett would be richest. Do you really want to be responsible for that?

cowudders14 03-01-2004 12:13 PM

Bring them to teh UK Bill! We wont go frantic ordering loads! Why, there's probably only 1/10th the number of microsoft haters here... :)

losthellhound 03-01-2004 02:21 PM

love the posters.. I might print one off for a dart board

Jam 03-01-2004 11:25 PM

Jam 03-01-2004 11:33 PM
