Take this survey: Win an iPad 2
Neverfail, the business continuity software specialist, is offering Reg readers in the UK the chance to enter a lucky dip which will see the winner take away a shiny new iPad 2. Oh yes.

Always the same
Howabout offering something good, not another flippin' iPoood
They want opinions on Business Continuity from the sort of people who want an iPad... weird!
Maybe because you can just replace a broken/lost iPad with another one and very quickly restore it?
Don't see how laptops/netbooks/other tablets would be any better.
Correction
They want opinions on Business Continuity from the sort of people who want the value of an iPad once eBay have taken their cut...
Although given the biggest complaint seems to be "it's too expensive!", many people may be happy with a free one. Jailbreak it and complaint number 2 disappears (walled garden).
FWIW, my parents won an iPad and use it as an internet tablet and nothing else, mainly because they can't figure out how to buy any Apps for it...
iPad2
No thanks.
If I wanted to look like a dickhead, I would just paint my face orange.
Instead you look like a dumbass
Alternative scenario:
1. Win iPad 2.
2. Sell it on eBay.
3. Buy whatever meta-hipster gadget you're not too cool for.

Not Large Print...

You didn't say it was a Microsoft Product Business Continuity survey!
Oxymoron anyone?
They want your employers details (no doubt to sell them something) for the *chance* of getting an iPad.
No thankee sir!
Security risk
I am not about to give information about the resilience\lack thereof of my employer's infrastructure If I have to name them as well.
I could be sacked. This is security 101 for IS warriors.
Why is this "news" ?
I have no problem with companies drumming up sales through surveys and prizes are always a good incentive but I'm sure I opted out of this via email. Having something pushed in my face is a new tactic I'm not especially keen on
