To quote Mark Brown:

Hey guys. I'm still around. Sorry, I've been on a plane all this week at launch events and will be on a plane all next week too.

btw, we are SHIPPING. Started earlier this week.

Thanks guys.

EDIT: btw, I'm not involved with the retail launch stuff at all. Don't care about the retail stuff. I'm all about DEVELOPERS

Hope this helps!

It will be interesting to see when they come in. I am in Oregon one state below. IF they ship it from Washington, I should have it anytime now.

However, if it ships say from Maine, then not so quick. :) I am thinking that they shipped them out in batches. What we need to do is once the first one comes in, don't rip the label off of the package just yet, indicate who shipped it and look for the reference number on the label. Once that happens, we can hit the DHL site, or UPS site and track by reference number often times without the account numbers.

hmmm.....once i get mine, i'm not going to take the time to figure out where it came from or who sent it...what would be the point?....i guess maybe the people that haven't received theirs yet would like to know that info....but still, i like the idea!

As I stated earlier, I am going to upgrade from the business license offered from powertogether to Ultimate.

From what I have read, it is not a good idea to go through the "Upgrade Anytime" path. It is recommended to buy the upgrade copy of Ultimate instead. Is this correct?

No it didn't, it said six to eight weeks after RTM which was in Novemeber ;)

Anyway, they'll probably start arriving around here mid week.

That's the date and time you received the email, not when Office went RTM nor is it 8 weeks after that that we should receive the package... This is the part you're interested in:

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

    • 4TB TEAMGROUP MP44Q, 2TB T-Force G50, and 2TB WD My Passport SSDs drop to great prices

      Neowin is saying these are good prices? Thats crazy. As others have said they are just ######. Time for big tech to bring down the prices for real not this fake crap.
    • Hands on with iFlyTek AINote 2 E-Ink tablet: insanely thin and smart

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      The iFlyTek AINote 2 is among the thinnest E-Ink tablets. It has an EMR stylus, a built-in fingerprint reader, and plenty of built-in AI features. You had me until "and plenty of built-in AI features." That and any company that still does the iProduct naming trope is an immediate pass. It suggests the company isn't very imaginative or creative and is trying to piggyback off another company's success. Extremely lame. Also kind of expensive. Better choices at lower prices out there.

      These are not "great" prices... just "less awful". Apparently "Those who forget the past are doomed to pay higher prices and think they've won."
