They always said after public release. I never saw it saying after RTM.

In the email it says "...Please be patient. We cannot ship your gift until Windows Vista Business is released to manufacturing..."?which?is?RTM. ?The guy from channel9 said they should have?started shipping them late last week.

Should be here in a week or so since they said it might take some time to ship them all out, they started last week towards the end of the week and still shipping this week. They usually ship 2 day shipping via DHL

I already said they were going to ship early this week, possibly today.

From Mark Brown Sat, Jan 13:

"Yes, just be patient. Lots of emails flying out right now. We're getting ready to ship here in the next couple of days.

Thanks."

Just wait a little while longer, it very well could have shipped today.

I don't want to complain but if we just had a solid date when we would be getting our gift I would stop thinking about this, I just got an email that says it will ship 6-8 weeks after vista is released to public, so we could be waiting about 10 weeks from now.

Hello Gabriel,

You will receive the free gift 6-8 weeks after Vista is released to the public. Please let us know if you have any other support related questions.

Thanks!

That better not be true because they freakin said 6-8 weeks from RTM clearly ON their website. It doesn't matter if its free... we did see those webcasts and we did take the time to do it.. If they said RTM, they should keep their word. Doesn't matter if its free or paid.

Heh. Patience*

The software offer related to this campaign is scheduled to begin shipping in early January. Once we receive your signed W-9 document and begin shipping, you should expect to receive your delivery within 1 to 2 weeks.

Thank you,

Well all I am saying is that they shouldn't break their word when they said RTM. I have patience... just not enough to wait another 10 weeks when they specifically said RTM.

If you don't have the patience to wait that long, go and buy it.

Patience my friend Patience...

what I dont like is Microsoft Disrespecting Canada when it comes to offers like this & events..

Microsoft got the the Code name Longhorn from Canada and this is how they repay canada back by not offering offers like this..

Microsoft Code names that came from Canada

1.) Whistler - Windows XP (ver 5.1.2600)

2.) Whistler Server - Windows Server 2003

3.) Windows "Vienna" (formerly known as Blackcomb)

4.) Longhorn - Windows Vista

all 4 got there names from Canada

Thanks Microsoft for useing names from Canada and not saying thanks back with offers like this...

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
