Microsoft survey: is it a joke?

Featured Replies

I went to the link published on AVSIM's Headlines page, got to a page telling me that this is my chance to take the survey. Clicking on OK gets me to a page where I have to enter an ID, but nothing about how to get an ID. Maybe you have to be a certified Microsoft employee to take the survey :-hmmmOr maybe it's just the latest irish joke :-jumpy J.J.JJ StruyfBraine-L'AlleudBelgiumhttp://jdtllc.com/images/RCsupporter.jpg

The key sentence being... "Please check back with us at the end of today for the latest survey."I missed it at first too :-shy

Are we sure this is a legitimate Microsoft site? Note the url www,microsoft,ie/survey. Why would such a generic url name be used for a FS specific survey? This doesn't follow Microsoft's normal naming conventions. Normally MS would have a site name including it's subdivision such as www,microsoft,com/games/flightsimulator. Also when you just enter the main url it redirects you to the micrsoft.com/ireland site. It just seems a little strange!Note: replaced the dots in the URL with commas to break the links as they are only meant as examples!

Thanks

Hi,At the flight sim exhibition in Blackpool 2 weeks ago, Microsoft were handing out "business" cards with the URL mentioned above, there is also an Email address of [email protected] filled in the survey last week and it is quite interesting.Cheersterry

Just as FYI,The Domain Microsoft.ie is owned by Microsoft. Do a Whois search for the domain and you will see that it is a valid domain.The domain is in Ireland and thus lends to the side of truth, that this is an authentic study of what European Simmers wnat and need. Do a simple test, type www.microsoft.ie into your browser and you will see why I say that it is authentic. Enough said.Give MS a break, from what I can see they seem to be listening. We asked for this, let's take advantage of it.
