In an e-mail from my Volume Licencing Reseller...

[Andareed]

MSDN claimed vista would be up within 7 days, which means on or before Nov 15...

[Slugsie]

From the MSDN website:

Windows Vista and Office 2007 will be available through MSDN Subscriber downloads within 7 days of release to manufacture (RTM). MSDN Subscriptions is committed to making new content available to our subscribers as soon as is practical.

That means by the 15th for Vista. Unless of course they mean 7 working days in which case the 17th may be right.

I thought someone said Vista should be at MSDN this week?

[username();]

It may be delayed for volume people more so then normal MSDN's. It may come out yet before the 15th.

[FnF]

Yes, that might be a possibility, I hope someone can tell more about this :)

[Gav86]

Office 2007 is on the volume license site already.

Office 2007 is on the volume license site already.

So it is! Cheers! Downloading now!

[Hurmoth]

Anyone know when this will hit TechNet?

[username();]

Sorry..My sources just confirmed its Nov 17 for Vista & the 12th for Office!

[scumdogmillionaire]

Crap. I was hoping to rebuild my development machine this weekend. Boo.

Sometimes I wonder why I even pay for this MSDN lisence. Nothing there I can't get the same way most everyone else gets it... besides support.

Nope.

[Kasandoro]

Does Office 2007 on the Volume Licensing site have the key built-in to the CD because it's not showing in our list of product keys...

[Mothium]

Does anyone know if this is also the case for MSDNAA (MSDN Academic Alliance)?

[thagame]

does anyone know if its gonna hit msdnaa (academic msdn). I wanna buy it but if my university is gonna supply it free why bother.

[FnF]

Nope.

Yes, it is, several people reported it :D

And no key? Thats weird then, maybe keys are coming later on?

[Kasandoro]

^ Nope, not on MSDN, but it IS on microsoft's volume licensing site. :)
