I'm in Raleigh as well and have recieved nothing yet.

Well, I was bummed out that I did not order a copy of Vista to go along with Office 2007, so I contacted the person in charge of MSDNAA at my school. He said he didn't know when they would be getting Vista. I got an email 10 mins ago from him saying that they now have Vista Business on DVD to download. I guess everything turned out well.

Only question I have is this: it doesn't say Academic version or anything. It says Vista Business. Does this mean I could upgrade to Ultimate using this copy?

Jealous of you all. I am waiting for my office and haven't heard of anyone getting it yet. At least I take laughs in that I have been using my vista license for over a month now.

There was a post here about someones boss receiving his package for the Office download at about the time Vista started appearing on peoples doorsteps.

I'll be interested to hear when those who submitted the W-9 for both offers start receiving their packages.

Thanks for the info Steve. We'll have to wait another week or so. No biggie. WoW! Its like Charlie getting his golden ticket. Crazy. Congrats to everyone and pretty cool seeing the replies from all over the US. Its unfortunate the Vista teams world wide couldn't have worked better together on this promotion to get this out to our boys in Europe and around the world.

    • Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 Ergonomic Office Chair review: The Ikea of chairs

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Huh? I have an Aeron Remastered and the backrest cannot go up or down (only the lumbar is adjustable). Yes, the Doro C300 Pro V2's backrest can be locked, but the locking mechanism is so weak that when you recline and lean back the backrest moves with your body. I think the whole purpose of this chair is that all of the moving parts (except for the rocking, which can be locked in place) are supposed to move with your body, as you shift your weight, that's why I couldn't get used to it. Some people might like it though. Its redeeming factor is the price, I mean it costs like a quarter of what a new Herman MIller (Aeron) costs.

      Well done Massie. This is how to treat the Fox News filth.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      I notice how you dodged the questions I had about the racism shown by ignorant, gullible, cowardly people when the Poles, like your partner, were the immigrants. Ahem. I wonder how you'd feel if native born Brits suddenly treated you as "dirty crooked immigrant" for being half Trump-American? If they ordered you to leave and "go back to your corrupt country" (on the other side of the Atlantic), would you go? The truth is based on facts as supported by evidence. As requested in your previous posts, I have used the facts in your own post to show everyone the truth.
    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      US citizens are paying to their government, who could use that to fund healthcare and tuition and relieve the costs of these for citizens instead of making tax breaks that overwhelmingly favor the rich. I'm not saying that tariffs are the correct solution, but what else would they be used for? What else could Trump have in mind for wanting them, if he hasn't figured out that labor costs are higher in the US?
