I had alot of problems so I emailed them and got this today.

For those who have all 3 webcasts completed, how long did it take to go from the "Pending" status to the "Completed" status for each one?

[Stetson]

Uhh 6 -8 weeks AFTER THE COMMERCIAL launch.. thats january and on..

Just wondering where you saw this. The text I see says:

Don?t forget that after you?ve watched three Windows Vista Webcasts, you will receive a free, full-licensed copy of Windows Vista Business.

* Your gift will ship within 6-8 weeks after Windows Vista is released to manufacturing.

Vista was released to manufacturing a while ago...

Huh, I read manufacturing and interpreted it as commercial, my bad..

Cheers, great idea. I emailed them as well. Hopefully they can confirm that I did everything correctly. :yes: (Y)

Do you have to watch the whole videos, or can you skip to the end?

[jafoman]

The thing is, even after all this, they still have to confirm that you are eligible... They can chose not to send it to you...

Do you have to watch the whole videos, or can you skip to the end?

I ran them at 3x and just turned on mute while I was watching TV, it completed them just fine. I wouldn't directly skip to the end as it may check for that.

[Crucify]

Do you have to watch them online? I downloaded them and viewed in WMP.

[micro]

Well i got all three completed..

to answer QUESTIONS

You should have a legit business they check that info..

Also you can download the videos offline.. Dont skip threw em, they know..

Just have patients and in about 12 hrs after pending is shown you will have completed..

[SoapyHamHocks Member]

They check for the business ... ouch ... I guess I better make up one right now.

[micro]

wow, so many people taking advantage of this :| I actually have a business.. I hope they actually send me my copy..

[Novaoblivion]

I dont own a business but I work for my dads company doing all his computer work and networking, I am also in charge of what OS, and hardware we buy so I hope that counts :).

[Enrickey]

They delivered on Visual Studio 2005 when I put in a fake business, so I don't see it changing.

No Canada this time though :(.

Same, and it's worked just fine in the past :yes: :shifty:

[Novaoblivion]

Now if my thing would only change from pending to complete... :(

Now if my thing would only change from pending to complete... :(

Mark on the channel 9 site says they do this in batch jobs I guess.

[Novaoblivion]

^ Ahh I see then I guess I should just be patient :).

[xxdesmus]

one of my Pendings just went to Complete...so yeah, just be patient :yes: :woot:

[cropcircles]

I just picked this up on RSS feed from Digg tonight. Watching replay webcast or error reporting right now. Pretty cool program.

[kingofmyworld324]

for the people who completed this even though they don't have a business, do you think you did an unethical thing?

when they check if you have a business, what info do they ask for? if they ask for a telephone number, there might be a slight possibility that they are calling to confirm if the business is legit, that might be why they are taking so long. just an idea, i have no proof lol. that episode of seinfeld comes to mind when george wanted jerry to answer the phone "vandelay industries" or something lol

[xxdesmus]

All of mine have switched over to Finished :woot: (Y)

[cosrocket]

Exactly what does it mean when it says "pending"? I chose 3 webcasts to watch and they all say pending.

[Novaoblivion]

Yay mine are completed now! Only 6-8 weeks to go lol.

Did you actually watch the webcasts? After you watch the webcasts it displays "Pending" and then roughly 24 hours later the Pendings will be updated with Completed/Finished (I don't remember the exact wording).
