...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. "

If you completed your 3 webcasts before the expiration of the free stuff then your probably good to go.

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.

    • Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.
    • It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
