Something tells me those of you that have received yours already should have listed the first letter of your last name. Maybe?

LOL-

I just got to thinking, someone should build a nice US map showing the geo locations of each delivery along with their date and the respective warehouse it shipped from, So we can watch it zig-zag across the country. I bet it would look like a nice mess of tracks by mid week next week.

I have to admit though, that I was a bit dissapointed to learn that those of us who signed up for both and then submitted their W9 form (in my case 3 days after my email due to a busy fax), that we will be the ones who have to wait longer than those who only did the Vista offer. I was really hoping to have it before the actual Release to the Public. Oh well...

Okay I just want to make sure that I am on the right page..

With the Vista Business edition I got.. I can only install it ONE computer right? So I CANNOT have it on both my laptop and desktop? If I want to install it on my laptop, i have to buy A NEW copy right?

WHOA! What are you talking about? I did both, got both email confirmations, and read nothing about faxing a W9 form to anywhere? I presumed that vista would show up with the form and instructions and then I'd receive office after completing that.

PLEASE explain? i'm freaking out now I won't get either one...........!!!!

Since I can't search the forums with less than three characters, does anyone know how the W-9 situation is handled? I did both offers, so is M$ going to mail me a blank W-9 or what? I have not received anything as of yet.

Okay, now I read the post above mine stating something about an emailed W-9 and faxing it back. I never got any other email other than two emails stating I would get Vista and Office.

    • 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.

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

      By excalpius · Posted

      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

      By dismuter · Posted

      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?
