Honestly, words fail me when I read things like this ....
Paranoia is still rampant in a few isolated brains it appears.
As there is no questions as to which OS you even want it for, nor if you own Windows (or just provide services where the updates would be a godsend) then one can only assume that some are frightened to let MS know they even exist.

MS are truly welcome to my name and address.
I own a lot of their product, and after all I have their name and address already.

Country code is 64 (not 0064 as was advised, the "00" is a telecom prefix for external calls, and does not always apply to people calling from overseas)

Postal code can be obtained here:
www.nzpost.co.nz

However it would be most unusual if some mail received did not have it (its a requirement for bulk mail)

It did not work for me using Firefox, the Submit button would not respond. Worked fine with Opera and received email notification. Try using Internet Explorer or Opera if you have it.
