Just a FYI...... I tried installing the Vista Business Edition I got on a 64-bit system and I see that the 32-bit is all that is on the DVD. I had to download the 64-bit edition and then use my product key to get the right OS on my box......

Yeah that was established earlier ... there should be a link on a piece of paper that came with Vista that guides you to a form you fill out to get the 64-bit media. The website wasn't functioning yet though.

Nice to see people getting Office/Vista packages. I wish I had sent my W-9 in a bit earlier. I would probably be getting my stuff too. Anyone have any pictures of the Vista/Office combo packaging?

Someone in Illinois over in the FatWallet forums got their Vista/Office combo pack today. So hopefully that means that those that did both offers will be getting theirs either tomorrow or early next week.

Whooohooo! Shouldn't be long then. I'm waiting for my free copy of Solaris too. The anticipation is killing me! :)

Just got BOTH my Office and Vista in the same envelope today. And here I thought those of us who had to submit a W9 would have to wait longer. :D

Nogib - where are you located? Just curious so I know how much longer it might be for the combos to get to South Carolina.

MN, and I had snail-mailed my W9 instead of faxing no less.

Well, that makes sense since they're shipping them from MN. So that must mean they shipped the first batch of Office/Vista combos yesterday. Looks like Monday will probably be my earliest day to receive it.

Oh well, if that's the case, I'll still get it before Tuesday's retail launch!

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

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
