I don't know how big the drive is, but hey, it's free after you answer 4 questions (I'm guessing you have to get them right), and if you have a .Net user name.
I should get mine in 6 to 8 weeks.

Rick,

Microsoft already has your address. Microsoft has all your personal information. Microsoft knows your hopes, your dreams, your spending patterns.

Rick, Microsoft loves you. Don't be afraid. Microsoft will protect you. Microsoft will always be there for you.

Don't you think you should return some of that love today, and buy some more Microsoft products? Perhaps a new computer for the guest bathroom?

Monster,

Have you bought the Partner Software kit yet? $300 and you get a TON of software. Non distributable, of course, but still phenomenal.

I'm holding out until they put Vista in the package, hopefully in 2Q.

Case, I haven't bought it, but I have thought about it, waiting for Vista sounds like the right thing to do.
