Microsoft HomeAdvisor
Who needs frequent flyer miles
when you can get a free PC from Microsoft?
If this were a poker game, Microsoft competitors would be folding. Microsoft’s HomeAdvisor just raised the stakes in the huge online mortgage game by giving away a personal computer system with any mortgage loan of more than $125,000. Intuit, in comparison is giving away a copy of Quicken Deluxe worth about $50.
The million-dollar giveaway, which began Mar. 23, is limited to the first 1,000 customers, but you can bet it would be extended if they really get that kind of volume. The free Concentric Systems PC packs enough punch to be acceptable in most homes with a Cyrix 300 mhz processor, 32 MB RAM, 3.2 G hard disk, 56k modem, 40x CD-ROM, 14” monitor, and two-year warranty. The retail value is listed at $900. Loans of less than $125,000 (first 300) earn a free Casio PV-200 PDA with a retail value of $132.
