Scott Hanselman says: Can't believe I didn't notice this...I'm off to claim my free PocketPC...

Don't forget people outside the US/Canada, we have a product that is eligible but we can't get one because we don't live in the US.

Like we didn't pay for your MSDN Universal subscription what US people did...

i'm guessing this doesn't qualify, because it's not a full version product.....

But RDs are not employees of MS, they are volunteers, from what I understand . . . So he should be eligible unless he is also employed by MS or one of the other companies . . .

This is what I was basing my statement on:
"Any products received free or at special pricing from Microsoft, for review or evaluation purposes, or as a gift, such as an MSDN Subscription received as a benefit of the Microsoft Certified Partner Program" But I'll just ping Scott one of these days and see if he was eligible or not.
