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. :)

    • Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 Ergonomic Office Chair review: The Ikea of chairs

      By froggyliver · Posted

      I like mesh chairs like this, but not being able to lock in the back would make it not work for me. Also, I don't like arm rests at all. Can you not install them and the chair still work? Any recommendations on alternative chairs?

      As before, my notes are in your quoted section. To be clear, you started posting racist, fascist nonsense. And I always challenge lies and the liars that peddle them. Why? Because the truth matters.

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
