Microsoft offers Vista incompatability cash
Chinese whispers
Wed Mar 19 2008, 06:45
MICROSOFT is offering Taiwanese Vista users cash in return for reports of applications that are incompatible with the "operating system", according to a report on Digitimes.
Microsoft Taiwan is offering a cash rewards of NT$1,000 (about $32.5USD) per accurate report, the report reports.
The misfiring applications need to be available in Traditional Chinese language which probably rules out the list we have here.
And it seems you only get the dosh if hired Voles can't patch up the gaps within a week. It's all here. ยต

How many persons can report the same bug?
Just one probably...
100 Bugs cost MS only 3250 USD.
or the price of 25 Vista copies.
WOW what a bold move of MS LOL.
MS will just sit any good reports for more than a week then announce it took them two weeks. They must think we are all idiots, kinda like the government does.

*note that you will only be paid if your notification is unique, demonstrable, and unfixable in a timely manner
Oh, so Taiwanese Vista users only then?

Shame, because I could have made myself a tidy packet if it was open to English users. Well, enough to pay back the cost of my Vista licence and make me feel less bad about wasting money on it anyway!
...it's a very clever way to get (almost) free help to fix some nagging issues with certain apps.
