Slashdot reports today (via Long Zheng) that Microsoft is sending out free top-of-the-line Acer-Ferrari laptops pre-loaded with Vista to bloggers as a "no strings attached gift." Four questions:
- What are Microsoft’s tax reporting obligations?
- Is there any way for the bloggers to avoid reporting the fmv of the laptops on their 2006 tax returns?
- What are the ethical constraints on the blogger in reviewing Vista after accepting the free laptop?
- What about me?
