Doli Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 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.

Windam Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I wonder how long it takes to ship 30,000 copies of Vista & Office.. I figure I might get it in the first half of February Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/516627-free-vista-bizofficeus-only/page/29/#findComment-588231143 Share on other sites More sharing options...

neufuse Veteran Posted January 17, 2007 Veteran Share Posted January 17, 2007 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 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/516627-free-vista-bizofficeus-only/page/29/#findComment-588233493 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeston Veteran Posted January 17, 2007 Veteran Share Posted January 17, 2007 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.

.Ark Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Waited nearly two months... can wait another 1-2 weeks I guess but its just the fact that they old us that they are shipping it makes me want to check the mail every day for it. :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/516627-free-vista-bizofficeus-only/page/29/#findComment-588233596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe3 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 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.
