The Challenge
The CodeWeavers Lame Duck Presidential Challenge will make its software products downloadable for free to all Americans for 24 hours at www.CodeWeavers.com if President Bush accomplishes at least one of the following goals:

Our Lame Duck Goals
CodeWeavers has selected an initial platform of five Lame Duck Goals. All of these represent what we think should be attainable, positive goals for the United States.

Reduce the Price of Gas: Gas costs about $3.79 a gallon in the Twin Cities, a full buck more than this time last year. If the average price here drops below $2.79 per gallon, this goal is met.
Reduce the Price of Food: With the rise of fuel prices has come a similar rise in food prices. A gallon of milk is about $5 these days. It was $3.50 a year ago. If the average price of a gallon of milk comes down to $3.50 gallon in the Twin Cities metro, this goal is met.
Create More Jobs: We started the year with 138,002,000 people in the U.S. working non-farm jobs. Since then, total non-farm employment has decreased by 366,000. If so much as a single job can be created this calendar year - meaning if employment can be at least 138,002,001, this goal is met.
Rejuvenate the Housing Market: Median home values in the Twin Cities have fallen 12 percent year over year - from $233,000 to $205,000. If that median returns to $233,000, this goal is met.
Bring Osama Bin-Laden to Justice: Every American would like to see Osama Bin-Laden captured or terminated. We won't be picky about how President Bush gets him. If it happens, this goal is met. Text

6. Where is the free download?

I use linux so exclusively, I'm not used to buying software. How do I access the free download on the CodeWeavers site? I made an account, but they still want the credit info. Do you give it and then the cost is zero, or is there a special code, or what?

The free software will be available tomorrow, according to their press release.

I get the registration code but after I enter it there's a prolonged stall and finally I receive an error message.

13. Now they temporarily disabled their main website

This is the message that came up, during my last attempt:

Main Website Temporarily Offline

Due to the high volume of traffic for the Lame Duck Challenge Free Offer, we have temporarily disabled the CodeWeavers main website.

We apologize for this inconvenience. We still love Digg, even if our server disagrees. ;-)
