Hi, I have a question, if I install this on my laptop then if sometime in the future I want to install it on my desktop, can I? With this version will I just be able to remove/uninstall it from the laptop and install it on my desktop? Or is this like the OEM version where once you install it on a pc, you can't move it some where else later?

Thanks

There still hasn't been an answer from most of those who have gotten Vista as to whether they were doing both the Vista and Office offers. So has anyone gotten it who did both offers?

(Sorry for the nagging. Just anxious to get my Vista and wondering if it's only those who just did the Vista offer who are getting it now.)

you're not nagging. i did both offers, didn't send in my w-9 and i'm in the same boat as you. i'll post if i get anything!

What computers will I be able to control with remote desktop? can I do the windows XP computer I have over a wireless internet connection from my laptop. I know you have the option to RD on XP. I remember on my home edition you can allow the viewing but can't control. Will I be able to control an XP computer from Vista?

my debate right now is should i buy the ultimate upgrade or just purchase home premium separate. I really dont need ultimate on my tablet and am planning to build a computer this summer.

I heard once you upgrade to ultimate, your license will be an OEM one, so you're pretty much screwed if you plan to install it elsewhere later on. Not sure if it's true or not.

Any word on when and how we will be getting our copies of Office 2007? The last I heard, we will have to download it and we will be receiving our keys in the mail. Is this correct? I haven't heard anything about this lately.

dude, read about 1 page back and you'll see that Office is a download, Vista is physical media.

Nothing here, but I am getting Office and Vista ...to be honest, I am no rush, it's like like I don't have both already :yes:

Well, I got a bit of bad news for those who did both the Vista and Office offers. I e-mailed support today to make sure they got my W-9 and if my order had shipped. Just got a response a few hours ago:

Dear Steve:

Thank you for your email. Let me begin by apologizing for our delay. This campaign has been even more popular than we anticipated.

I checked the system and verified that we have received your W-9. You are slated for the first batch of shipments. The materials are currently being prepared in our warehouse for shipment. We currently estimate that we will begin shipping by the end of next week ? provided there are no delays. Please look for your software within 7 to 14 days.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please let me know. Have a great day.

Sincerely,

Joe

In response, I wrote back and said that others had already begun receiving their copies of Vista. Just got a reply to that e-mail as well:Dear Steve:

Folks who only are receiving one of the items were processed first because they didn?t require a completed W-9. The folks, such as yourself, who are receiving both, had to wait until we received the W-9. The products will be shipped to your together.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

Thanks again,

Joe

So, this was my fear. It sounds like it may be a week or two by time we get our copies. And that means no Vista prior to release for us.

Is that really so bad? It cost you nothing monetarily and only your time viewing some presentations.

I understand the anxiousness of receiving the freebies, but who cares if someone walks in to a store and drops a few hundred on the software and you receive it after him for free? :cool:

      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. 😂

      This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
