By Brian Livingston I announced last month that all newsletter subscribers would be invited into a new, totally free service that we’ve been quietly developing on the Windows Secrets site.
Paid subscribers received advance invites on Dec. 2, and in just a few days it’ll be the free subscribers’ turn to splash around in the resource pool.
Every subscriber to the free version of Windows Secrets will receive an invitation via e-mail on a random date between Dec. 14 and 16. Our notifications will go out in a gradual series, so we don’t overload the place with all 400,000 of us at once. The message will include a link as your free ticket into the service.
Insider tips, how-tos, best security practices, and more
The Windows Secrets Newsletter brings you essential tricks for running Windows XP, Vista, 7, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Windows Update, and more — weekly, free.
Bonus: get this free download when you subscribe
Interested in Windows 8 but don't know where to start? You have a friendly guide in My Windows 8 Consumer Preview: A Sneak Peek at the Windows 8 Public Beta, by Katherine Murray. This month, all subscribers can download Chapter 1 and Chapter 5. In this excerpt you will learn about the new look of Windows 8, how to make things happen in it, how to use the apps that come with it, and how to get more apps.
We guarantee your privacy: We will never sell, rent, or give away your address to any outside party, ever. We will never send you any unrequested e-mail. Unsubscribe requests are honored within one business day. Privacy Policy
Be assured that the message isn’t a phishing hoax. The e-mail will bear your reader number at the top. This is a “shared secret” that no spammer could know.
I won’t repeat here all of the goodies that you’ll enjoy access to. For details, simply visit my Nov. 26 column.
Then watch your inbox early next week for a holiday gift that we’re extremely proud to give you. Thanks for your support!
