Doesn't work rate the five movies and it will send you to a form to fill in to get your coupon which will kindly inform you that you didn't rate the five movies you just rated. No confirmation or anything that you've done anything other than the movies being informative you've just wasted your time

Wow, I like this and now that I know it's here I'll come back more often. I'm sure you don't like this kind of question, but: Do you know if the C# team is going to do something similar? Thanks.

I'm not aware of any plans to do this for C#.

I will test the interface and see if I get the free VB when I have time, then report back.

After completing the fifth review a form pops up where you submit and a confirmation/validation number is sent to you along with a link to get the free copy. Click on the link put in the validation number and your email address you used and a copy is sent to you snail mail. Worked fine.

When did you qualify for this offer? Some time ago, we closed this offer to new customers as we gave out our allotment of Visual Basic packages. Did you qualify for the offer around the time I blogged about it, or have you just watched the movies recently. If you qualified when the offer was open, I can help you get the software. If you didn't, I'm afraid you are too late.
