What license terms are attached to the Vista Business that we're getting? I sort of want to install it on my current computer to play with it a little but I am planning on retiring it in the next few months when I build a new one. Would I be able to transfer Vista to the new computer later on or do the standard OEM license terms apply?

if you are only getting office you do not need to send a w9 form in right? A post a few pages ago confused me on this. I live in Michigan and got nothing yet.

i'm in MI too (West MI) and still waiting for my Office key.....if you only registered for office you don't need to fill out a w-9. we just have to wait. please pm me if you get your copy, i'll do the same if i get mine first

Awesome, just got mine in Virginia!

My roommate almost freaked me out, though. I asked him after work if he'd checked the mail, he said yeah, I asked about a large yellow envelope; naturally I became excited and asked him where it was. He said he thought it was some spam from Microsoft and had thrown it away! I was halfway to the garbage can when he threw the package at me and started laughing. Close call on that one. :p

Do you guys know what the website it where we download Office?? Is it specific per person or the same address for everyone?

As far as I know, the link is just the same public download link (for the Trial) and then they give you the cd key to enter ...hence turning the trial into the full version.

I've just installed Vista Business on my computer. I figured I'd check out Anytime Upgrade and I'm having some major problems with it. I open it up, click "Upgrade to windows vista ultimate", click "begin upgrade process", and then I'm taken to a website that tells me to select my retailer. I click any random one (since I got my copy of vista through MSDNAA at my school) and then I'm taken to a page that says tells me to enter a username and password....

I'm lost right there. I was under the impression I was going to have to go to a site to enter my CC info and then just upgrade to Ultimate. I don't have any username or password. Anyone tried this yet with any success?

So I was reading this thread (and have been routinely) looking to see if people were still getting them. Yes, and I was thinking where is mine??! Then I called my downstairs phone and asked if the mail was checked today and it wasn't. I said I was just waiting for something and then they said a package from Microsoft came YESTERDAY. I was like "omg!!" and hung-up and ran downstairs. Yep, it came :D ;).

Is you your .net live account or whatever they call it?

Mine came yesterday and I'm in Overland Park too.

I did the Vista offer. Just checked my mail today, it was there (didn't check it for a few days so not sure when it arrived)

I live in Overland Park, KS

Didn't do the Office offer, but feeling stupid that I didn't!

i havent recieved my copy of office yet either. i finished the online webcasts before they soldout. when i finished my second, they were sold out. but i finished all three and looked in mystuff and itsays ill be getting my copy in 6 to 8 weeks following release. i guess i should still hold tight right? by the way,im in allentown pa.

I got my copy of Vista Business through MSNDAA at my school. I had two options: 5 Cds or 1 DVD. I signed up for both and d/l'd and installed the dvd. I was given two different cd keys for the two options.

Could i use the dvd i burned and install vista on my other computer and use the key from the 5 cds or am i gonna have to actually d/l and install from the cds to use the key.

Sorry for the lack of spelling and punctuation and grammar and all i'm pretty good into a botlte of everclear right now

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair
    • If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
