Free Vista Biz/Office..us only

The powertogether.com site doesnt work for me.

Does it work for anybody else. I just wanted to see if my status changed at all but it says service unavailable.

Same problem, was working fine yesterday.

Maybe they are editing the website or something to say our gift is shipping, but I don't see why they need to take the site down, I doubt the site is getting alot of traffic so I don't think high traffic is to blame.

Seems as if they didn't know about the site being down. It probably doesn't have anything to do with shipping.

The site is back up now and it doesn't look like anything has changed from before it went down. :(

2 sessions, 8-noon and 1-5 ! Come on, skip that class

i dont see that free office professional thing being mentioned anywhere. heck i cant even register. an no i will not open up IE to see if things work differently lol

[Update]

The reason why you can't register is because they are out of copies and and done with the promotion.

[Crucify]

Clearly states it right here.

And don't get too discouraged if when you register you don't see anything for your state, of that the city mentioned in the state is far away. I registered for the event in St. Louis and it picked up that I actually live in Kansas City and low and behold there is actually an event in KC at the Hyatt... but didn't show that until I registered... confirmation showed that...

By the way, Neowin looks nifty now...

and Buckethead RULEZ!!!!!

Outstanding.....plenty of time to enter my code before the trial of office ends.

I hope I wasn't the only one that actually learned something from the labs and webcasts.

Great news!! I saw mention somewhere today that a number of hardware developers expect to have Vista ready drivers available by the end of the month. No mention though if they were both 32 and 64bit though. I'm still unsure of what one I'll install, 32bit or 64bit. Will most recent 32bit apps run under Vista 64bit?

BTW: Has anyone seen that tax form for receiving both products?

So does this mean that the item has been SHIPPED or is this is just the confirmation email for the gift and that the three required webcasts were completed?
