wtf then? Edit: actually I can load the office page but not the vista page. what gives?

Same thing happened too me. Took like 1.5 days before I could get back in. Be patient :) As for the tax thing: You only do that if you got both offers if I read it right. If I do get Vista, I plan to show my appreciation by buying Office.

Anybody else finish their webcasts to get their free copies of Vista Business and Office 2007. I finished Vista business webcasts early Friday morning (2am) and when I woke up Friday mid morn they were sold out. I believe Office 2007 soon followed. Anyway I was just curious how others ended up with this promotion.

finished all 3 webcasts yesterday on friday the 1st and just checked the website and i have finished checks on all of them. also it says thank you for viewing and i should recieve my copy of office 2007 in 6 to 8 weeks from release. cool!

dito... Mine said that also at the bottom, couldn't fit it all into the pics.

By the way I actually did watch all the webcasts although some were sleepers, but for the most part they were really interesting. Come on now some of you guys, raise your hands if you started your webcasts and left the room or maybe the house.

I tried for three days and there were always server errors. ****es me off, as I could have really used Vista.

Same here you just had to refresh a couple times and you'd get in eventually. Sorry you missed it.

This would be worth a read for you guys (regarding the tax stuff).

Basically, you won't end up having to pay taxes because you can receive up to $12,000 as a gift without owing taxes. :yes:

Also, I am sorry, but anyone who "missed out" on this or anyone whining about people getting this who shouldn't have...you know what? enough with the whining. Trust me, you had plenty of time to sign up for it. If you really cared you would have got it working. I worked my butt off reloading, refreshing, and dealing with time outs to get it working because it was important to me.

sweet I finally got back in. I got the congrats message at the bottom of "My Stuff." So that is it right or do I have to wait for tax email? I only did the Vista one.

I think the sold out message means that no more people can register for vista or office, if you already registered for it, then you can still view 3 webcasts and get vista and office.

correct me if I'm wrong.

yeah you are. here i'll repeat it and make it bold

guilty of the leave it and run thing. but! i spent ALOT of time clicking refreshing, resubmitting, rerefreshing, reresubmitting...got scared when it said sold out..but its reserved. actually the one with the Windows Installer 4.0 wasnt that bad. it was atually interesting and help me acatually use their os more prodcutively.

i was so ****ed that i didnt get a copy from connect but this almost makes up for it....almost. lol

does everyone know: vista does NOT include Media Center? biz edition anyways.

here we go: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getr...ns/default.mspx

one question: they say that u will receive it within 6-8 weeks IF you qualify for their terms. which i guess it means that you have to business. which i do...my dads. so like more than 3/4 of the ppl here on neowin dont qualify...so whats gonna happen?

I just put my occupation as 'Student' and put my university as company name. I'm assuming since they had the option to select student it is valid.

I supremely doubt you got your copy of Office 2007 from this offer already, but thanks for contributing off topic comments about your experiences with Office 2007

Yay me too! Although 2 of my webcasts are still pending because I just did them. But yay!

When did you complete the 3 webcasts?

I didn't get my copy from the webcasts. Like I said, Office 2007 is great. I really like the improvements that were made to OneNote, a program that I've been using for everything now, from class notes to writing essays. Shame it doesn't make much use of the Ribbon, though.

I have yet to get any emails regarding any kind of survey, so that may appear to be random. I do alot of stuff for them, and I'm registered in more ways than I can count with them, I guess we will see.

Secondly, the site is back working again.

When you say, "Got my copy" do you mean the physical copy or did u qualify to get the gift?

Sorry, I was a little off topic here. I meant that I had simply gotten a copy of Office 2007 elsewhere (not via the webcasts,) and was just giving my positive thoughts on it. I was just saying it's a great improvement over 2003.

This would be worth a read for you guys (regarding the tax stuff).

Appreciate the link xxdesmus. I thought I saw this somewhere. Interesting but not surprising. MS covers their butts pretty well and If you did qualify for both its best to report or it could come back on them as well.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
