wonder what method they are using for shipping... Microsoft seems to use DHL a lot for beta programs... wonder if they will use them for this also

I hope they use DHL for this and not the USPS. The USPS often loses things :(. Plus DHL is faster.

Congrats to everyone. For those of you who missed out on Office Professional 2007 you still could sign up for the Launch tour in your area and get a free copy for attending. I just received the following today, so evidently they haven't run out of these.

Off-Topic but a little funny. The picture attached with the post I've quoted. Due to how the photos are automatically reduced in size, this is how the first part of that highlighted area looks to me before I make it full size.

"These are free events intended to bring to business community together to engage with pee, Microsoft employees, and local techno orgy partners"

That sounds fun :laugh:

I hope they ship them via UPS or FedEX, and PLEASE MICROSOFT, don't write "Your free copy of Windows Vista is inside!" on the outer part the envolope, for the love of God it would sound too tempting for someone to steal :cry:

they never do that, it will be a yellow padded envelop with your address on it and possibly with a small Microsoft sticker.

No M$ did say that the web site was not their's. A number of us called and all got the same answer from them but then again costumer service has been wrong before. Oh and Im not a hater who missed out either. :)

wow you are dumb... the site itself was hosted by a 3rd party, so yes its not "theirs" but the promotion was from microsoft, the site was made by microsoft, they just contracted out the hosting, heck even on channel9 which is a MICROSOFT site with MICROSOFT employees the employees are talking about when we will get this stuff... learn to add the pieces together then come back here and say you are wrong...

Are people still having problems submitting their W-9 via fax? I mailed mine in last night since I had no luck getting the fax to go through when I was at work the other day.

their fax lines are so over crowded with people faxing these in... should be better now though
