Yeah, is there a place I can go to thank these guys? This is really great. I want to send them a case of Miller High-Life.

MSDN Channel 9 is where Mark Brown resides. I believe his team put this offer together. Go there and give him a shout out. Here is the link to the forum..

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

Kidding? Ha! You should even see some of the college professors out there that actually worked in industry! they even have a hard time determining what processors are capable of... AND THEY ARE TEACHING THIS!

Did anyone here recieve their DVD without recieving an email? I filled out completely valid information and was told I fulfilled all of the requirements, but I never recieved an email (atleast not that I am aware of). What did the email say?

Look for an email from around 1/9/07, posts started appearing here in the evening about people getting the emails telling them what steps they had to take. If you received both offers, then there was a link to complete the W-9 (https://microsoft.order-7.com/windowsvistaofficew-9/)

If you were qualified, you have until 2/1/07 to submit your W-9.

If you never received the email, check your junk/spam filters, www.powertogether.com to verify everything was accepted, and begin emailing their support people if you need to.

Well nothing today, maybe tommorrow. Hmmm maybe last name has something to do with it. Mine starts with an "S"

...mine too... in fact, all I gave 'em was initials for the name... hope that doesn't mess anything up. I'd give 'em my real name if they really needed. If it doesn't show tomorrow, then I'll email and see what's up. ...all you lucky people w/your packages :(

Yeah I'm slightly worried. I sent my W9 in by snail mail. I just emailed the [email protected] address and asked if my W9 was recieved and if there were any issues with it. I fired that off this afternoon. I live in Rhode Island and my last name obviously ends in S. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's just recently been shipped and I'll recieve my package this week. It looks like there are others still waiting so I'm not totally worried yet.

I'm waiting for both the Vista and Office package.

I just looked in the mail today and found my copy of Office 07. Too bad they didn't send out the discs with the keys. The download speed keeps jumping around.

If you had the 2007 Professional trial installed, just reactivate with the new key. Worked perfectly fine for me. :)

And I live in Tallassee, AL. :p

I am getting worried I still havent gotten either Office 07 or Windows Vista. Anyone else still waiting for theres ?

None here either. I was really hoping to gert mine before the official launch, but I guess not.

This really is a test of patience. :|

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.

People win gifts all the time and they owe taxes on them. Sometimes they can't afford the taxes so they have to sell the gift and settle the taxes they owe and then pocket the rest.

It's not stealing.

It's not stealing but its breaking the rules.... when a disc is marked "Not for resale" you can not resale it for profit

    • So what am I quoting from them? I never listened to what Farage or his cronies said. I wanted the U.K to leave the E.u years before the referendum and it had nothing to do with Farage and his cronies. So what country do you live in? Did we work much better together? We were always at logger heads with the E.U because we disagreed with them so much. Maggie was always on at them. I would have thought the E.U was glad to get rid of us as we stopped the integration or made it a two tier. Now without us they can integrate more. I would not have voted out if it was just a trading block and we can still work together on somethings.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

    • I did test it a month or so back, but ... the results I expect to be on the first page are not there.
    • Neowin is saying these are good prices? Thats crazy. As others have said they are just ######. Time for big tech to bring down the prices for real not this fake crap.
