Sky, i suggest you don't use the cheat engine. Although a lot faster, Microsoft loses the searches that happen when you check an answer. Thus, they lose money. Ultimately, the site would be shut down, as Microsoft would lose any incentives they have to continue. Bots, although cheating, allow microsoft more revenue than manually doing it, because they almost always check more than the maximum amount of answers (Ala General guy's chickbot, the crosswire bot).
I recommend removing that bot, as it will cause trouble.
Shhh! I'm not officially back yet.

So after you order something you get a confirmation email and then when they ship it you get a shipping confirmation?

@Below: thanks. :P

Well I got a confirmation for Vista and XBOX 360 controller now I wait for the shipping confirmation!

Microsoft is doing this and giving away free stuff because the more hits they get on live search, the more they can charge companies to put there websites like there as the first thing you see and how many people click on it. So do not disable that because Microsoft will lose money and stop giving away free stuff, even giving away this stiff they are still making money off of you when you use a bot to do it as long as the live search thing is still there.

Meh, I think a lot of us are using the Greasemonkey script that doesn't even load the search iframe, so I see no harm if people are already using that.

I'm trying to think of a good way to do this. Should I try to fetch the answers from a site like ClubLive2.0 did? It's somewhat unreliable and slow, so I'm not too sure. Any suggestions?

Just have it click on one answer on the left then click on one on the right and do that except going down 1 answer on the right side each time till it gets them all done!

Here is a Seekado Macro:
Here's a Seekadoo macro for you guys. It's a simple program, and runs VERY slowly, because it just tests all combinations.

Unlike other programs, the source is included. If you think this program sucks, I'll respond telling you to recode it better. If you recode it better, release it. I encourage everyone to mod it, hack it, and disect it to little itty bitty pieces of code. Just keep it open source please. So use it, and if it sucks, tweak it to your needs. I would love to see different versions of this. Like Linux. If you can't code on the other hand, don't just say it sucks. Say why it sucks (other than because it's slow), give a suggestion or tip, and I'll give an attempt to code it.

If anyone knows how to make a letter reading script in AutoHotKey, then please respond to how to do that, or just make your own version with it. It'd make this a heck lot better.

Lastly, this is only v0.1. That means, it's not v1.0. I know it sometimes doesn't hit a word. The only solution I've seen to this is to slow down the speed.

Download from: http://www.mediafire.com/?1cmmmkt6vyu
If you don't want to download it, don't click the link. Don't complain about its release either. It generates tons of searches for Microsoft.

Instructions:

Download, extract, run. The ahk is the source, and you don't need it if you don't want it.
Ctrl + Alt + Z: Check how many tickets you've won.
Ctrl + Alt + X: Pause/Resume
The speed can be set from 3-10. 10 is the slowest.

I'd recommend you let this run while you're sleeping, or if you go on a 500 day vacation. Don't depend on this to finish all your puzzles.
This is from another site I don't take any credit for this.

This website isn't run by Microsoft...

DUN DUN DUN!
