Hey is it normal not too be prompted for a product key during or after installation of Vista Business RTM? I just installed it and I haven't been asked to enter it yet. Says I have 3 days till auto activate. Does it ask for it then?

*No I didn't receive mine from the offer yet. A friend of mine DL'd the ISO for Business edition from the MS eOpen website.

on the system properties page where it shows your system rateing at the bottom there is a link to enter or change your key and activate

I just got this today:

Dear Michael:

Congratulations, you?ve learned how to build well-connected, visually stunning applications with Windows Vista, and now your free, full-licensed copy of Windows Vista Business is on its way.

Please be patient. We cannot ship your gift until Windows Vista Business is released to manufacturing. Your free software should arrive in six to eight weeks after RTM. If it doesn't arrive after eight weeks, please contact a customer service representative at Windows Vista and Office Kit Order Admin. Be sure to have your confirmation number xxxxx on hand.

woot

I got this for the Office one a few days ago.:):) I didn't sign up for the Vista ones, because I'm supposed to be getting the upgrade of it. MS has been very generous, I think. They've given away a lot of stuff here lately.

MS never officially gave details on Anytime Upgrade so your guess is as good as mine...

Retail difference between Business and Ultimate is $100, upgrade difference is $69

I can only guess it's between those two figures

Sounds good to me! :)

FINALLY!

Got the fax to go through, ATM the number is NOT BUSY! But I am sure it will be soon, so you want to get your fax through, do it now.

Also, I had to set mine to "overseas mode" which waits longer than the standard 30 seconds to get a signal as it rang a lot of times.

Good luck!

somehow i doubt it will be retail package fancy curved box thing to keep prices down so i would say it be something more simpler like a plain DVD case or a paper Slip with the key on a sticker on the box/paper disk slip.

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...

So much hate... LOL... This is the ORIGINAL POSTER you are flaming.

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 changelog: Uses electron 42.5.0 #2452 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.6.
