Nice! I hope the CD says "Not for Resale" (NFR), since I know a bunch of idiots are going to try selling it.

The flash sorta made it not legible, so does it say Not for Resale?

I was on the channel9 forums and it is non-transferable so I don't think it's legal to sell on ebay. Does anyone know if I was eligible for both but didn't do the W9 will I only get Vista or only Office. I would much rather have vista at the moment.

you will not get either, that is until you fill out a W9 form and send it in to them.

Pretty sure it was said somewhere on the Channel9 forum, but I'm certainly not looking through it all to find it.

"Yes, very sorry about that. I work in the US-Sub so there is that to contend with. I don't have the budget to do WW campaigns. There is also a tax issue as well that I wasn't prepared to deal with. If a user decides they want to take both the Vista and Office offer it is a taxable event here in the US since the combined value is over $600. That requires a W9 that we send to the user to be signed and sent back via fax or snail mail before we can ship the second product. Since I can't handle this type of thing for every country in the world you can see where my problem was with trying to do this world wide.

Sorry about this really."

I am pretty sure I did vista first anyway, well at least I hope I did.

    • NVIDIA AI Trained Itself on a 30B Model: Corrected Its Own Broken Metric Mid-Run

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By naap51stang · Posted

      If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.

      Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
