How much do you love Windows Vista? A little bit? Oh, not at all huh? Well what if you were offered the chance of winning an entertainment package worth $15,000 to spend 30 minutes of your precious time looking at why Windows Vista is just so damn fantastic? Ah…thought that might change things.

In what can only be described as an act of utter desperation to overcome Vista’s mostly negative public perception issues, Microsoft Australia has put together an online “Fact or Fiction” quiz all about Windows Vista. Every person who enters gets a certificate of completion and a Windows Vista Advisor polo shirt. Ah the temptation is overwhelming and I sense the greed welling up within you.

Fact or Fiction? But wait, there’s more! Every participant goes into the draw to win an admittedly very drool-worthy entertainment package worth $15,000 consisting of a Samsung 52” LCD TV, Sony home theatre gear and an XboX 360 Elite. Very not bad. Plus there’s secondary prizes of Xbox 360 Pro units.

So what’s the catch? Not much – you just have to sit through a little online quiz and answer some questions about Windows Vista. In my naïveté I thought that these might be challenging technical questions, the intense cerebral content of which would leave me scratching my head in rampant geek frustration.

Silly me. I soon realised my error when questions came along like this: “Windows Vista delivers all new levels of security compared to previous Windows operating systems – Fact or Fiction?”. And don’t you dare say Fiction, you cheeky monkey, you! Not if you want that Limited Edition Polo Shirt!
