[SionicIon]

Today the 23rd and still no product key... :(

BTW, Happy ThanksGiving

[gregor]

7 days back i accepted their policy and started to download vista ultimate. no key or email from ms. should i be worried? naaah- (i hope:S)

[ToneKnee]

Give them time, I'm sure they are just really busy at the moment, after all, you are getting it for free.

In the USA, today is Thanksgiving, a national holiday. Microsoft is closed and may not reopen until Monday.

[me.me.me]

Still waiting the key.

BTW, Happy Thanksgiving for americans :)

[mR. GULEROD]

Its friday(the seven days has gone), and there is no key in my mailbox :s

[Kristian]

And the problem is? :huh:

If we don't recieve the key in 20 days, then you could safely worry. Microsoft has probably closed down for thanksgiving now, and won't reopen until monday likely

[obsolete_power]

Although this is true and we still have 23 days, Microsoft did say that the keys will arrive within 7 days so I think people are anxious because of that.

I actually have 30 days now because I uninstalled the x86 and installed x64 :)

[Dave999]

it's Friday now, still NO keys, like someone else said ..it just doesnt feel complete without the key..come on Microsoft ,,come on.. please

[obsolete_power]

Right but the truth is that you WILL get a key eventually and until then there isn't anything that stops you from fully enjoying the OS. The only thing is the message that tells you to activate but it only comes up once every few days and it goes away if you close it.

[reactionary007]

we'll get it eventually... before it goes into reduced functionality mode anyway!

[Lasker]

like most said, we have 23 days left so we don't have to worry about it. I think we are cool, it would worry me if we had 29 days without a key ;)

[obsolete_power]

Yep, give Microsoft time to relax for Thanksgiving with their families.

[#Michael]

Kiddies.....calm down and grow up. Microsoft will not forget to send out the keys. Please remember that here in the US that yesterday was a national holiday and that most likely the entire staff is off now until Monday.

Most if not all of us have probably 22-23 days left to activate. So take a deep breath and calm down. Besides, it's black Friday, go shopping for holiday gifts.

Now we are gona get the key's but remember if you look at the email closely they do state ( usally takes inside 1 week ) they dont promise 1 week.

Now one other thing i would like to specify, i know there is some people that thinks they will be able to do like in the old day's ( give out the key on the net or to friends etc.etc. ) remember this time it is different ( they are unique ) so that means you can't do this as per you will get locked down.

Now i wonder who will come here or somewhere else on the net to complain they got locked out, so i can rofl at them hummmmmm :)

That would be so cool to see, hahaha

[obsolete_power]

Why would anyone give their key away......? I doubt that anyone would give away a key that is worth $600 unless they tried to sell it...

if you read, they are non-transferable. ;)

[leesmithg]

I logged in, it displayed my key and sent it to me by email in a matter of seconds.

[ziggie216]

no one working? MS doesnt do holiday pay? :rolleyes:

[gregor]

i always thought the keys are sent to the tester automatically.. i mean.. are you sure they have like 100 ppl there which only work is to sit and send keys to 100.000+ testers? i don't think so.

[chrispinto]

:shakes head:

still no keys

[kinetix63 Veteran]

Give them time... You've still got nearly 20 days left to be able to activate the thing so I don't think anybody's in a desperate rush just yet!

[ziggie216]

damn, first thing I did today was check my email... *sigh....*

[reactionary007]

just got an email update. they expect to get the keys out this week. don't worry - they didn't forget about us!
