That is what I was going to say, there will probably one person that will do it.
There is so much of this garbage out there that I finally had to set up filters for my emails to auto-trash anything that even hinted at being from Microsoft.
If they ever really do send out a mailing on something important, I'll probably never see it.

too funny
Just do not belived what the big company said when they send you email, because if it is form them why they do not have news about it.
Beside if there is update, there are windows update, that is what it is for.
Beside, the email is just too fishy, 1st, if they do got the computer info, therefore they should at less know your first name or so on.
2nd, they will tell you what OS version is. like Win XP, Win Me, Win XP2, etc.

Unfortunately, there are scams for absolutely EVERYTHING nowadays. We even have people running recruitment scams - using logos and names of large companies to try and lure interested job-seekers into paying up front fees (placement fees, immigration processing fees, etc.)

You might want to try "live linux" ... you burn it to cd-rom and boot from it...you don't have to install anything and it won't damage your normal os in any way
Download from here
