An 'FF2" offer — and a BitTorrent experiment

A cool offer from BitTorrent, the P2P downloading service that now offers legit downloads of movies, TV shows music and games, creates an opportunity for a little experiment.

The offer is for readers of this blog to follow this link to a page where you can try the service and download a legit, licensed copy of "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" for a mere 99 cents, a big savings off the regular $14.99. This offer is good through 3 p.m. PT on Oct. 23, 2007.

That's the cool part.

The experiment is this: It only supports Windows XP computers and I'm an all-Mac guy, so if anyone out there gives this a shot, please drop me a line and let me know how well the service worked, what the quality of the offering is, and (if you feel strongly about it) what you thought of the movie. I'll post a follow up after getting some responses.
