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.

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      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

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
