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!

sweet... im in the Washington DC area and i got mine today :) Yay!! Guess i'll be formatting this weekend and installing a fresh and clean and legal Vista :). I already got Office 2007 so i'm cool there :)

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:

    • Deal for those who want 1900 size electronics in their house? with 2026/7 hardware mhm.. not nice
    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
