Personally, I think that he's nuts but I applaud him - at 99 cents he's cutting his own throat. I really hope that he gets 10 million downloads!

A great gift for friends and family.  You'll have your opportunity to contribute to the count!  Just keep in mind the time difference.  The offer is for the EST, which is GMT -5.

A great gift indeed.   :thumbsup:

Any box I touch gets WinPatrol installed before I turn it back to the user, and they are instructed to upgrade to the Plus version by the time I crank the car's ignition.

Corrine,
Hmmm 2 per customer or it that per bank card as could Netty have 2 after all she would technically be another customer but same card as well then all the PC's / Laptops would be sorted.

We wish him all the success that he deserves  :goodie:

At that price, I would think 2 per bank card.  Of course, you could send him a check as long as it arrives by 28Feb2010.

No, its too late.  The offer is expired.  Bill actually had it up for over 48  hours (having started it early).  He extended it through the 30th due to server back-ups.

That was an amazing opportunity.  I'm so sorry I missed it.

Not the sort of thing that will probably ever get repeated either.   I got your PM Corrinne. Thanks.
