Ok, so I download IE7, sign up on the site, get a new computer, and then go back to using Firefox.

I think it would be better to find an existing user and execute the scheme - a registration date of "yesterday" and a post count of "1" probably wouldn't qualify you.

It reminds me of the MSFT settlement in the early 2000's where you could get a (I think) $100 check from Redmond. It was somehow "transferable" and a few of my friends bought people's right to redeem the check by doing things like giving out gift certificates or handing out free ice cream. (IANAL so excuse me if I didn't use the proper lingo there)

IIRC, I think they made in the tens of thousands.
