Flexicon gives you 9000. Unless they've added a cap to that too.
I'm hoping they get rid of the caps. I need more Vista.

My guess is because it actually costs money to produce a Zune due to hardware costs, whereas the most expensive part of Vista is the packaging.
This is a lot better than <a href="http://www.megaupload.com/rewards/" target="_blank">mega upload's reward stuff</a>.
You can get only 5 points per hour, 120 points per day <i>(Maybe they changed it since I can't find where it says the limit anymore)</i>.
In other words, it'd take over 2.5 years of downloading/uploading every day, for 120 points a day, to get the first $100 cash reward.

I am guessing the limit resets every year, so you can get an xbox360 after two years of reaching the cap?
Sounds plausible, either that or they're just tricking you into thinking you can get an xbox360 when you can't.

Just get Vista and sell it later. <!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--> That and they NEED more people to pick up vista. If they can't spread the install base they are in trouble.
Any way.
Chicktionary is not capped at 1000, unless it is 1000 per day, and if so that is ok with me.
personally, my bet is that each cap is per week. So, 7K per week = 1K per day = 35 days to get a 360 (what I was planing on doing any way).

After chicktionary cut me off, I moved on to flexicon and haven't hit a limit yet (1400 points so far from it). I'm liking that game better, whether I play it for real or with "help" (not automated though). I'm up to 4500 points now.

My main account has 12K of unused points what should I get? Two copies of Vista and sell them? I could continue playing that damn Flexicon for enough points to get a Zune but I don't know if it'd get much use.
With several other accounts I've ordered Kameo, a Headset, and the Live Unplugged games. They'll be here by August so it seems.

i did miss that, but regardless im still writing this program because i have a job next year where i have to use c# a lot and i want to get pretty good at it.
No, I didn't miss any, but I only got 20 points per game (which I assume is normal), but once I got to 1000 points it didn't give me any more puzzles. And it still hasn't.
Plus I used <a href="http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adam.bozon/scrabble.htm" target="_blank">this Scrabble Solver</a> instead of Anagrammer, because it was the first one I found, and it was easiest to type them in. I did manage to get the first one without computational help though, it just took like 7 minutes instead of 1 minute to type everything in...
Maybe they kicked me out because I type too fast <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" /> .
