Microsoft User Research Study for Car/Racing Enthusiasts - GET FREE STUFF!

[Capt. Obvious]

I don't know a whole lot about what they're doing exactly or why they need you, but I thought I'd post this up for anyone who wants some free Microsoft products.

Microsoft User Research has a Usability study coming up specifically targeted to people who are into cars and racing, both real and virtual. Unfortunately we cannot take FTEs or Contractors for this study but we would like to enlist your help to spread the word to friends or relatives who might be interested.

Here are the details of the study:

We are looking for individuals who love racing games, cars, and racing in general. If they play racing video games and care about the details of what goes on or in their car then they are exactly the person we need for this study.

A few requirements to participate :
• Licensed driver that can drive to the Microsoft Redmond Campus
• Available May 8th
• 27-43 years of age
• Car Nut/Gear Head/Racing Enthusiast
• No Microsoft employees or contractors
• US Citizens

Each participant will receive a free gift selection from a list of some of Microsoft's most popular hardware and software titles including, Office Professional 2007, Vista products, Expression products, various Xbox 360 games, and much more.

There are limited seats in this study. If you know of someone who would be interested and meets the criteria listed above, have them email [email protected] with a subject of ‘Racing Study’ and include a daytime phone number for immediate consideration.

Thanks,

Dammit I'm only 24!

[Capt. Obvious]

Yeah, the age thing is a little odd. Not sure why they want the older subjects.

My guess is that the research is in regards to that particular age demographic.
