Okay, I have found the link on channel 9 talking about the gifts. Here is some quotes from the topic pages made by Mark Brown.

The topic is at this webpage. http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?Pag...p;PostID=262896

You got two quotes that contradict each other. Is Office going to be sent on a physical disc or not?

They will send a dvd mailer out to you, but it will not have a disc in it for office, it will have a link for you to go to download it. It will also contain your key. Vista will be sent on a disc.

As long as I get a copy of office im cool with downloading it. :)

Hmm, those look awesome, I wonder if vista we get will be retail or oem.

correct me if I'm wrong here, but OEM will available when buying a new machine, you won't find OEM version on a retail store...

so I guess it will be retail version

NO, Vista is DVD only

They are talking about office

ThankYou...some don't follow the thread... :D

I think I heard Office is DVD too, can anyone confirm this?

I'm not real sure as to the how the 'retail' will ship..but with Office 2007 Pro being 410 MB (430 934 016 bytes)..I would think the download version would be CD recordable...now if they ship the retail with all the version...like Vista and the Key determines what version (Pro-Plus-Standard-Student)..then I can see a DVD Version.

I've talked with Tech Support. They've ensured me that I'm fully qualified for both gifts and that I should wait 6 to 8 weeks to see the gifts in my mailbox. I'm sure that I'll receive official notifications just like everyone else though, especially since I have to fill out W-9 information anyways.

    • Apple releases iOS 26.5.2 with dozens of security fixes for iPhone

      By Nas · Posted

      I'm still rocking iOS 25.x on my primary phone cuz iOS 26 still has usability quirks (mostly aesthetic and thus its UX) which I don't wanna deal with -- and I've been piloting them with all of these updates on my backup phone, so I'm well aware of its "improvements" since iOS 26 was first released (compared to version 26.5.x).
