actually i would normally wait...but as i just got a new harddrive and my old one died, im in a serious need of a pc and am waiting so i can install Vista. i dont want to dual-boot with xp....but if i SERIOUSLY have to i will...

so my grades depend on their ability to ship within the next few days.

plus its wednesday, and i doubt they shipped last week or it would have gotten here already.

"Why don't you just install XP, the apps you have to have and use it till Vista gets here?"

because then i have to bother with reformatiing, reinstalling an OS and creating partitions...then backingup and migrating data and apps.

Thats why I suggested installing only the OS and the apps you need to get by. Keep everything else neatly backup and ready to go for when Vista arrives.

Wow... thats just... nevermind

i just find it strange when people link their PC to survival... I'm sure it's frustrating waiting on a free copy a $300 OS... if it was truly linked to your survival you'd put down... what? $600? $700 for that basic MSDN subscription to get all OS releases early ;)

I had emailed the support people for the offer since I was moving at the end of the month and wanted to know what would happen if my mailing address differed from the address on my W-9 I submitted and I was told that if I don't receive the package by the end of the month, to contact them and give them my new address so they can ship it there instead.

Sounds like we should be seeing these sooner than later, hopefully within the next two weeks.

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
