um my has always said after RTM? "Please be patient. We cannot ship your gift until Microsoft Office Professional 2007 is released to manufacturing. Your free software should arrive in six to eight weeks after RTM. "

it didnt come today thats for sure!

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,

Windows Vista/Office 2007 W-9 Data Submission Admin

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...
