I'm getting an email from Jeff in my work email spam box every day about this survey. Is anyone else getting the email, this Jeff seems serious about getting my opinion, he must not know me.

I'm not so much wondering whether or not it's a legit survey, more wondering which "major software company" is sponsoring the survey.

Yeah, I got that too. Not sure who it was. It's ok, though, I just Christmas treed all the answers.

I advise you not to take the survey, because everyone who takes it decreases my chance of getting the $20 gift card.

By the time I was done I had it narrowed down to two "major software" companies. I filled it out and was honest, although I have a feeling that my results will be labeled "outlaying data point" along with most of the others'.

If that's the answer, what's the question? Reminds me of something.

"Thank you Alex, I'll take CAD Software for 500"
Alex: 3DSWYM
"What is a failed attempt to implement a technical forum?"
