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. :)

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

      Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.

      It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
