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.

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.

      This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
