Free Vista Biz/Office..us only

[subferno]

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. :)

I am fine with downloading Office, but that's pretty stupid that they will mail you Vista but not Office. free is free, ah well. ;)

[Gabe3]

They should just email keys and a download links for office and vista. I guess some people are not on high speed internet so they cant

[jwjw1]

maybe it might turn out great after all..if the dvd cases sent in the mail are these..something the beta testers didn't even get.

[Novaoblivion]

I would like it if they would just email me my Vista key and a link to download the ISO lol.

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

Completed three offers first day this was up, just didn't see this thread :D. Or at least I don't remember posting here, :rofl: . Congrats to those who are verified (me too). :D

[no-sweat]

I'm assuming they would offer the Office download in ISO format or some DVD image format so we can burn it ... right?

i hope so :)

[jwjw1]

i hope so :)

I'm sure due to the size..it will be a .iso and require just a regular blank CD.

NO, Vista is DVD only

NO, Vista is DVD only

Nope, I am able to download a 5 CD version of Vista from my TechNet subscription. :) Not sure if that is going to be that way during retail or not.

[Gabe3]

They are talking about office

[no-sweat]

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

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

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 wish they would just send us an email telling us whether we qualified or not. Otherwise Ill be checking this thread for the next 6-8 weeks lol.

yeah really... :whistle:

[Mike E]

Does it say anything different on the "Your stuff" page once you been confirmed? I completed everything a while ago but I haven't got anything saying I've been confirmed.

[CrimsonKnight13]

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.

[JustGeorge]

I never got a response from tech support at all. What email did you use?

[CrimsonKnight13]

The technical support one, right underneath the shipping one.

[JustGeorge]

Yep, same one I used. Not a good sign I guess :(
