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.

    • Deal for those who want 1900 size electronics in their house? with 2026/7 hardware mhm.. not nice
    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
