Well, I do agree with you as far it being a conscious decision.

I am not sure if that makes it a scam. However, if your definition of a
scam in this case is something like "forethought of actions leading to
the desired outcome of collected interested email accounts" (heavy
paraphrasing assumed), I would have to be honest and say that it fits
the statement. :)

They force you register to register for the download then give you nothing.

This is MS not some lone open source developer. They could very easily have
inserted the "Sorry, we don't want to give out any more copies" before the
registration process.

My opinion (and it's only my opinion) is that someone decided to do it that
way deliberately.

It's just a scam to harvest email addresses.

You have to enter all your details before you can download then they tell
you that no more slots are available.

Try using fake details first if you don't believe me.
