Anyway that all sounds great.
I was also thinking on the other hand you might simply get more samples if you held a contest that required at least a single patch with the required multisamples, along with the commensurate and irrevocable full license to you. Then you could either draw out of a hat and award the prizes, or you could set up a judging scheme. (probably random drawing is best). This way, many might participate, also each "entry" would constitute another chance to win the prizes and you need not worry about any revoked licenses, since the license is required for entry, and since the entry is not so huge, i.e., I could enter with a single patch and a few multisamples, then most would not feel they were "working" per se . . . etc. Otherwise what is down is cool.
