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.

    • 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. 😂
