I got my email. Same as the one posted. Though it could be a LONG time before i see anything...6-8 weeks??

6 - 8 AFTER RTM. Vista Business was RTM'ed in late November.

They're not talking about Vista's release day (January 30th) either, since Vista Business is already available. I bet we're getting our copies next week. One can only hope, right? =)

I got both vista and office email.. In the ofiice email it said I need to complete and mail/fax w9 form if I want to recieve the seconf gift.

If you are eligible for and have registered to receive both the Windows Vista Business offer and Microsoft Office Professional 2007 offer, you must complete a W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification) form. To make this easier, go to this online form and fax or mail the completed form using the information provided. This form must be completed, returned and documented before the second gift can be shipped. Taxes, if any, are the sole responsibility of the recipient.

If you qualify for both do you get Vista first or Office?

In the email they will give you a link to make a w9 form. Then you can fax/mail the form. You will get a pdf file after you complete the form. I used faxzero.com to fax the pdf file.

while I was viewing the pdf file, adobe reader 8 was trying to connect to socialsecurity.gov.. what was that all about?.. :unsure:

I got my email for Vista as well but not for office. I completed the requirements for both. Has anyone else completed both and only received confirmation for one?

Yeah. I only got an email for Office.

Edit:

I take that back. I got the Vista email less than 5 seconds after I submitted this post.

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      By JohnnyQ55 · Posted

      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

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
