Free Vista Biz/Office..us only

[jafoman]

I made it to the registration page finally but when I submit it just gives me either a system error or page not loaded. :(

Microsoft will probably scratch this offer now that millions of people are going to sign up for it (just like that thumbdrive offer a few months ago).

Yeah no kidding, that will suck *knocks on wood*

@jafoman

Just keep trying, it seriously took me about 2 hours of reloading/resubmitting while watching TV, but it finally went through correctly.

[SkillsToShow]

I clicked "back" and "next" over 200 times and it still didn't work. I give up!! :angry:

[Inplode]

1 hour + of errors :( but im still trying

[Novaoblivion]

Hmmm it says In progress for me even though I finished watching the webcast. :(

Now if someone could tell me the main difference between Ultimate and business that would be great. I was going to order Technet later this week but if there isnt that much of a difference then Ill stick with the free biz. thanks

Here is a website that shows all the different vista versions and what the features are.

The webcasts won't work for me if I click "view" but it works if I click download for offline viewing, will it still count if I click the offling viewing and open in WMP?

Yep. Same for me, the videos won't work unless I view them offline.

After you watch the 3 webcasts how long should it say "pending" for ?

[mudslag]

I got 2 pending and one complete, the completed one is the one I didnt even watch..hmm

[micro]

Well i have had 3 pending for about 12 hrs now, just sittin back and waiting.. I watched all three offline via WMP..

[Inplode]

well 9 hours later and i STILL GET THE GD ERRORS !

[xxdesmus]

3 pending on Office, and 2 pending and 1 active on Vista here :yes:

Some of these videos are quite interesting as well (Y)

[ryanmcv]

Can someone tell me what constitutes as actually "finishing" the videos? Can you simply scroll to the end of the video, or do you have to watch the entire thing?

[zerolimit]

I've watched these videos so many times and they still say pending? How long does it stay pending? anyone know?

[xxdesmus]

^^ Good question, I now have 3 pending videos on each ...now what?

[zerolimit]

One says complete now!!! but all 5 of the videos I watch say pending. This is weird!

[Roger H. Veteran]

man that site is being murdered!!! i can't even get the main page

[jwjw1]

it takes time.

[zerolimit]

wohoo it worked!

[xxdesmus]

How long did it take to switch from Pending to Completed?

[zerolimit]

How long did it take to switch from Pending to Completed?

Had to re-watch them. I just leave it in the background. When its done leave it for a couple of minutes and close it and it says complete.

[blachole]

Taking forever for me to register.

So you don't have to fill out the survey they send you about each webcast then? ...because I kinda...um deleted them ;)

[PNWDweller]

You would think Microsoft would learn by now...get a good set of servers which can handle the traffic. :)

Kind of amusing though all the same. I can't even get past the registration point after putting my company information in.
