Free Vista Biz/Office..us only

[wrewing73]

I have not received my confirmation email yet. Has anybody else had that problem? I don't know if maybe my email filtered it and I just never got it. Just wondering how many did not receive it yet. Thanks.

@cropcircles:

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.

Everytime I got stuff from Microsoft, it was via FedEx.

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:

[nukenorman]

Hopefully you guys have been checking your credit report. Microsoft said in a earlier statement that the website was not theres. :D

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

Where? I doubt it since Mark Brown has mentioned it multiple times to be legit on the MSDN channel 9 forums...

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...

And dont ever say "M$" again!

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.
