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:
