the response email comes to the aim.com email addy you shouldve made and gave them as the employer email...
===================
So im thinking.... My 27% off discount that ive been receiving almost since this thread began well over a year ago, is set up as Citigroup... From time to time I get emails with the Citigroup employee offers, I never use them.. however they do come to my normal email address on file with sprint, not my false email setup for the discount.. so using a miscrosoft email account that one cant check, shouldnt be an issue
With WP7, MS seems to be giving employees FREE devices, or well discounted with free accessories... If you check Sprints list of companies, MS is on the list with a 20% discount.. Im willing to bet if you try to set this up as a MS employee, you'll get whatever emails Sprint is going to send the MS employees when they release the discount/pre-sale offers...
The problem may lie in the email address... getting @microsoft.com email address may be diffcult.. although, it may not be neccessary.. **problem solved!!! I love google..**

For those who are interested in getting a @microsoft.com email, here is the tricks:-
» Go to http://get.live.com/getlive/overview and click on Signup button
» Copy the code below and paste at the URL bar
javascript: var p = ‘microsoft.’;var ds = new Array(‘com’, ‘cn’, ‘fr’, ‘it’, ‘nl’);for (var i = 0; i < ds.length; i ++){document.getElementById('idomain').options[i] = new Option(p + ds, p + ds)}alert('domains added');
» You will notice the email address changed from @hotmail.com to @microsoft.com
» Just continue your registration and you will get a @microsoft.com email address.

I enjoy my 27% discount, but if someone wants to try and wants to settle with the 20% MS discount and try this to see if they get the WP7 offers from Sprint when they come, heres the steps Id take:
1. create a @microsoft.com email address as shown above..
2. Use Microsoft for Employer and the newly created @microsoft.com Email Address for Emp Email Adress
3. use Your Real Email Address for the Personal Email.. must be on file with Sprint
4. Submit!!!
Now the source where I found this, How to register a free @microsoft.com email account? - Techie Corner , says that his friend who showed him found no way to check the email... so youd have to submit it, and just wait for your next bill or two(normally only takes one) to see if the discount has taken effect or not.. so its kind of a blind shot... but worth a shot if someone wants to try..
**Possible Troubleshooting**
where do MS employees log in to check their email??? here possibly?? https://home.microsoftonline.com/login.aspx just a shot at being able to see early if the discount went through..
[i][i]
the javascript code trick no longer works
Can always try an @aim, @live, @gmail email addys to see if those work as well..
This very well may not work, though it very well might... afterall, we already ahve companies were faking this for, why not MS? LOL
