Registration Benefits

Thanks for your feedback on registration. I have heard a variety of feedback, ranging from:

“Hell no, I won't register even if you shoot me.” to “Let me know what I will get from it and I will register.”

In Whidbey, we are planning to offer the following benefits:

• Time-unlimited use of Express line of products. In case you don't yet, our Beta Whidbey Express line of products have just been released today. You can download them for free here.
• Personalized MSDN Developer Center content
• Product and local event updates (you can choose to not receive these)

What do you think?

James.

  I'm confused - does this mean the Express products will be free if you register, and will timeout if you don't, or what? If that's the case, how much information are you planning to collect?

  I created a hotmail account for my cat and registered using that account.
  
  As soon as she receives an update for a local event, I'll send my cat to it.

  Mike, he said time unlimited, not free. Those are two different things.

  When I'm asked to register, the first thing that comes to mind is, "Why do they want this information? What do they intend to do with it?" The best way to get me to register a product is to have clear and full disclosure on why you want the information and what you will (and won't) do with it.
  
  Swag is nice, but it won't persuade me if I think I'm going to be spammed/called/snail-mailed, or if I think my information may be given to a third party.
