...I *cough* got a copy of Vista Business N, I will give the Anytime Upgrade a go when I get home from work and report back what the upgrade to Ultimate cost will be. :yes:

I could be wrong, but I don't think the "Anytime Upgrade" service will be enabled until Vista's general availablility date (January 30).

ok...but i doubt a backport will happen. its been like 3 years with XP and XP is really easy to exploit and explore, basically everything is open and to my knowledege nothing has been available.

what makes this any different? and if ur an advertising/agency u will need Ultimate.

well prob get our copies in mid January.

its been 2 weeks..

Nope no email here, I havent sent them one either, though maybe I should? I do agree that having a CD can be nice but they could always do it both ways? Send us the disk but let us download it now, and of course you could also burn the disk image to a disk after downloading it.

If you completed your 3 webcasts before the expiration of the free stuff then your probably good to go. You just have to be patient. I'm looking forward to getting the packages myself, they look really cool.

" 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. "

You didn't need to complete them before - as long as you signed up before, you would get it.

And why can't people calm down - 6-8 weeks have been mentioned several times - theres absolutely no need to keep asking, before february.

All you really needed to do is to register BEFORE they say they're sold out, then they reserve a copy for you. Just watch the 3 required webcasts and you're good to go.

I suggest you keep emailing them every other day or so until you get a response.

...and I -REALLY- hope they don't make us wait 6 - 8 weeks AFTER January 30th. My Office 2007 beta isn't going to last that long >.<

Microsoft will not e-mail you. I don't remember if they even sent an e-mail when they shipped Visual Studio 2005 last time.

They sent emails right when VS 2005 shipped, but nothing before that. We'll likely just get an email saying "Your item has shipped, blah blah blah 2-3 weeks, etc etc etc" ...but nothing else.
