I got mine just the other day but I am waiting for the online form to order the 64-bit version. I have been using that since RC1 and am very pleased. I don't mind waiting though. I want to do consecutive installs for my computer and my wife's laptop. She is going to Vista Home Premium and I will be using Business. Both free, mine though the promotion and hers through the Sony Express Upgrade program.

Winfield, KS here. I just got both Vista and Office. Both came in one envelope, sweet. I can now CONFIRM that if you have installed Vista Business x64 and are running on the 30-day grace period while you wait for your copy to show up in the mail this key WILL validate and activate. If you can get your hands on the x64 version somehow save yourself a little money and don't bother ordering the x64 DVD (though I may anyway, eventually, just to have a pretty Microsoft disc). I can also confirm that if you are running Office 2007 Pro TRIAL this key will convert it into the full version. Awesome.

Office pack came in today. TN.

It is a folded card with some features listed, system requirements on back, and the link and product key.

The link goes directly to the download with no page. lol. And it's going very slow. About half my capability and that's just 1.5.

They will all be delivered by the end of this comming week if you did not have to fill out a W9. They just finished sending all of them out this past week, so give it a week to get delivered. Last non W9 required shipment left Friday...

So maybe not all the ones requiring a w9 have even been mailed yet.

I think most people would rather have Vista than Office... even those who already have Vista through the beta program. I mean ... it's Office. It's basically the same as Office 97.

It does cost more than Vista and it is considerably different than 97. It's the biggest jump in Office in a long time. And they were out of Vista when I signed up. :)

    • So, recently, I saw on the news that Samsung is introducing features where it can provide education using AI-powered sets, and because of this, I got concerned about whether the AI gives out wrong info during education sessions, causing controversies in the process. What are your thoughts on this? 
    • TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The TCL Design Series A65K is currently $299.99, down from $499.99. That's 40% off and $200 saved on a soundbar tuned by Bang & Olufsen, which is not a combination you'd normally expect at this price point (purchase link below). Bang & Olufsen doesn't typically show up in the sub-$500 category. The Danish audio brand is known for speakers that cost several times more, so having their acoustic tuning on a $300 soundbar is very appealing. TCL handles the hardware, B&O handles the sound engineering, and the result is what the company calls "accessible luxury." Still, accessible luxury isn’t full-fledged luxury, so don’t expect wonders. But this is a decent soundbar, nevertheless. The A65K is a true 3.1.2 channel system with nine physical drivers, including genuine up-firing height speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Many soundbars at this price simulate overhead effects through virtual processing, rather than actual hardware. So, you’re getting the real deal. The design is unusually slim for a system with Atmos compatibility. The bar is just under 2 inches deep and should fit beneath most TV screens. The wireless subwoofer is also compact at roughly 14 x 14 x 5 inches. Total output is 460W, and you can connect to the soundbar via HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.3, or USB. There are also eight sound modes through the TCL Home app and an AI calibration capability. Although it’s worth mentioning that AI capabilities in most of these devices are inconsistent, to say the least, and that shouldn’t be the biggest selling point. Still, at $299.99, the A65K is a strong buy for anyone who wants a soundbar that sounds and looks noticeably better than what this price range usually offers. And the Bang & Olufsen branding surely sounds nice - pun intended.

    • And he paid Joe Rogan $30M for podcasts. Terrible company.
    • I sure hope the AI does not give out wrong info during education
