I made two cd's one for Office Pro 2007, first link (Core Office Pro 2007 apps) and second for add-ons (Business Contact Manager, etc..second link). Thanks!.

Here are the direct links to the files:

MICROSOFT OFFICE 2007 PROFESSIONAL minus Business Contact Manager for Outlook et. al.

http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net/ms...6/X12-30196.exe

MICROSOFT 2007 Business Contact Manager for Outlook et. al.

http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net/ms...0/X13-40150.exe

And the MD5s for reference:

63755d66246f105ced224979c0df77c6 *msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net/msoffice/pub/X12-30196/X12-30196.exe

There is suppose to be two downloads but they forgot part 2 on the sleeve that they mailed out.

If you want to make CD's for Office 2007 do the following, download the installers from Microsoft... Run them until you get to the CD key entry screen... now go to %TEMP% and there should ge a folder in there called OWP206.tmp or something similar... open that folder, copy the contents and burn it to a CD and now you have exactly what comes on the retail CD with auto play and all

the biz key wont work with ultimate right?

This is a no-brainer, but I'll answer, anyway. No.

It'll cost $139 for the Anytime Upgrade. I'm still debating whether or not I actually need Ultimate, but that's a pretty good price, cheaper than the OEM Ultimate. Personally I think it should have been $100, because that's the difference in price between the retail versions, but it's hard to bitch when you got Business for free.

hmmm..barneyt mentioned (post # 1317) that he downloaded the 64-bit version, and it worked with the key he got with the 32-bit edition. Wonder what that link is...

More than likely downloaded it via a torrent or newsgroups.

It's called capitalism and I think it's going to do well. Besides why should Microsoft make billions and then look down on other people who try to scrape by.

Because these Vista discs are very clearly labled "Not for resale". That makes selling them a violation of the license agreement, and possibly illegal.

I'm sorry, but why is it more then likely a torrent or newsgroup? How many tens of thousands of beta testers got a free copy of both 32 and 64bit iso's they downloaded from MS? The ISO has ALL versions on it, your version is determined by your key... so more then likely they got it from MS in a legit way at the current point in time

Well, I have no plans on selling my Vista and had no plans on selling Office. But, after seeing so many on Ebay, I'm considering selling Office (since it doesn't appear to have any NFR restrictions on the packaging) just to help pay for an upgrade to Vista Ultimate.

Doesn't MS usually have Ebay stop any auctions they feel are not legit?

At least I wouldn't feel as bad since the money would really end up going back to Microsoft to pay for the Anytime Upgrade.

Or you could simply take the file you downloaded and open it with WinRAR. You'll then see the same exact contents while skipping a few of your steps. Extract them all to a folder and burn them. It'll run fine with autoplay and everything.

Still haven't received Office here in Cincinnati.

I'm right across the river from you in Newport, KY. Hello neighbor :laugh:

We might get ours around the same time

Its called stealing. It could come under an example of a person biting from the hand which feeds them. Why should Microsoft do anything like this in the future if so many people are going to abuse it?

Its just wrong! reguardless of how people want to justify themselves.

Charlotte, NC here!

Today in the mail (USPS), I received Vista Business and Office 2007 Pro from the PowerTogether promo.

I did both offers and faxed in my W-9 the second day the fax could be accepted (after receiving the email about filling out the W-9).

Last name begins with "E".

Special thanks to Mark Brown, Microsoft, and Catalysis for a successful promotion! :D

      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 hellowalkman · Posted

      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.

      The high cost of labor and operating within the US. Donald hasn't been able to figure that out--pathetic.
