Thanks for the comment NightmarE D.

I wanted to make my pic just a little different than others posted.

The "Microsoft" blocks are from when I was a Technical Support Engineer at MS PSS-East in Charlotte, way back in 1993. They were given to me (and others) for customer compliments and for completing various training. I've seen TSE's with literally hundreds of them in their cubicle.

And my "little friends" are from watching MSDN webcast last year. They were very excited to see what the mailman brought today! :woot:

Also glad to see you got your gift too!

I didnt get anything yet, Ft Myers, FL. I will be ****ed if I get scammed out of this.

I got my Vista/Office combo today and I live in Cambridge, Ohio (SE part of Ohio if you didn't know). Hopefully you'll get yours soon. :)

Well some good stories coming out of Ohio today then. I'm stuck at work so I won't know for a couple of hours but I'll be sure to let you know if I get it. I appreciate yours, and everyone else's postings on here. Roughly anybody who has been reading this thread or the one on Channel 9 can get an idea of where things stand across the nation :-)

Smart Alec... not everyone knows what their CPU is capable of...

download CPU-Z and run it, it will tell you what your CPU supports on the main page, like SSE, SSE2, SSE3, EM64T, x64, etc.... if you see a "64" you have 64 bit capability

I'm sure that he asked if it was a joke b/c he assumed that everyone signing up for the free Vista would be computer savvy enough to at least know if they have a 32 or 64 bit processor.

That's assumeing a lot :) I know developers out there that have no clue what processor they are developing on!...... which is sad.... they just know "yea im running a pentium" without a clue what the instruction set contains for it....

LOL, i had bad luck. my disk got totaled in the rain in puyallup, WA but mate managed to save the serial and i already RTM x86 from connect beta gift. w00t first international person to have power together vista... though i'm not using it yet i still got the key and the disk got munted so saves alot of time anyway :)

I hope you're kidding. How could someone write computer software as a profession and not even know what they're developing for?

just got office came in a envelope a big Minella one with a cd key and tells you to go to a site, to download it.which is nice 2 days before my b day

Yeh I got nice bday presents this time! 3 days before my bday.. i have vista and office in my hand.. w00t! :p

unfortunately he's right. Some of the developers out there don't really care what they use or have the slightest idea of what is in the box. I worked in a large corporation last year that provided IBM 300PL machines to developers. In case you aren't aware of the specs, it's an amazing PII450, 20GB, with 512MB of memory. Developers using those to create the core business apps... scary huh?

Also, still no Vista & Office for me in Burnsville, MN. I mailed in my W-9 a day after the emails went out for it.

Mine came today (Vista and Office) in Jackson, MS. I had mailed the W-9 a couple of days after I got the e-mail about it. What's funny is that the mail was really late getting here, so I thought I might just not have gotten any mail at all today, which would have meant another day without getting it. It's getting installed tomorrow, since I have a bunch of stuff I need to back up first.

    • Zen Browser 1.21.4b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21.4b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.2 and 152.0.3 Added 'Edit pinned tab' context menu item to manually set a pinned tab's URL Added 'Add Route for Domain' context menu item to quickly add a tab's domain to the Space Routing settings Fixes Prevent sidebar from flickering when moving a tab (#14131) Full-screening while on a glance tab will now expand the glance tab to a normal tab (#11766) Fixed space routing tabs opening in background when it should be in foreground (#14183) Other minor bug fixes and improvements.

    • I was using searxng for about a year , self hosted, but results were starting to timeout and eventually it became unusable so I switched to degoog. Much better for my needs, more polished and add-ons like maps and calculations etc

    • Hello, I am not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel's, but as I understand it, that's a mid-range CPU from about three years ago.  I would think it to be fine for everyday casual-type use.  A larger SSD might be better, but with storage prices these days that's a decision that has to be carefully thought about.
