My OperaStuff, stuff, get some stuff!

I'm giving away a copy of Windows Vista and ESET Smart Security over at Driver Heaven.
I started thinking about giving away Vista because of a post some months ago at the GameDev.net DirectX forum from someone having trouble developing because he's using a pirated version of Vista. Since Microsoft gave MVP's a limited option get some stuff at the Microsoft Company Store (a benefit that was recently dropped, unfortunately), and some versions of Vista were very cheap there, I figured I could give one away. Took me a bit of time, but my last blog post prompted me to go through with this. People need to leave XP.
I decided to do this at Driver Heaven because it's where my I feel "my community" is. The people hanging around the forum there are nice, and trolls usually don't last long.
As for ESET Smart Security, it's another thing I could get thanks to being an MVP, and though Microsoft Security Essentials provide most of what people need, I figured it'd still be silly not to give it away. I use NOD32 at home, and it's pretty good.
