Finally received Office 2007 in Raleigh, NC.

On a semi-related note: I have my desktop running Vista Business (which I got through MSDNAA) and my laptop is running Vista Ultimate (Vista Business from MSDNAA upgraded to Ultimate this morning for $139. Thank you Windows Anytime Upgrade!).

Finally received Office 2007 in Raleigh, NC.

On a semi-related note: I have my desktop running Vista Business (which I got through MSDNAA) and my laptop is running Vista Ultimate (Vista Business from MSDNAA upgraded to Ultimate this morning for $139. Thank you Windows Anytime Upgrade!).

How did the Anytime Upgrade process work? Did it go smoothly?

How did the Anytime Upgrade process work? Did it go smoothly?

Yea, went pretty well. I ended up ordering an Anytime Upgrade DVD for $7 through the internet (and it turns out I didn't even need it).

I was told that I needed to insert my Anytime Upgrade disk at one point in the process, so I figured I wouldn't be able to upgrade for a few days 'til I got the disk in the mail, but I substituted the Vista Business install disk and it worked just fine.

Oh well, I guess I now have an actual copy of Vista (coming in the mail) rather than the burnt disk I made from the MSDNAA copy of Vista I d/l'd.

:angry: I just discovered something that could have saved me almost $30.

If you have a copy of Vista Business and you want to upgrade to Ultimate via Anytime Upgrade, when asked to select the retailer to purchase the upgrade through select Sam's Club. Rather than the $139 it costs everywhere else for the AU upgrade, it is only $114.

This morning I used AU on my Vista Business and paid $139 (plus $7 for an AU disk, which it turns out you don't need as long as you have a full copy of Vista on disk). By just clicking around a few minutes ago I discovered Sam's Club offering this discounted AU rate.

Has anyone done the upgrade to Ultimate from the www.WindowsAnytimeUpgrade.com/maps ?

Looks like it cost $7 more if you want the Windows Anytime Disc, I think they should offer a download to an .iso of the Anytime Disc.

Do you get a new Product key while the old one becomes invalid? All I see is that you download some software and use the Anytime Disc.

Looks like thare are thress ways to upgrade:

1. Buy an upgrade disc at a store.

2. www.WindowsAnytimeUpgrade.com/maps

3. From the "Welcome Center" in Vista

edit: i just saw agreenbhm post above, I took a long time to post because i left my computer in the middle of my post

Here is how Anytime Upgrade works:

You launch AU from your PC. Select the retailer you wish to buy the upgrade from. Enter your credit card info and all that into the site. Once you've purchased the upgrade, you are given a small file to download. Once you download the file you launch it on the computer. The program asks you to insert your Anytime Upgrade disk and to click "Install Now" (or something like that). All you need to do is put your Vista disk in and let the autoplay menu pop up with the regular Vista installer. Then click "Install" from the menu you are given. You go through the install and choose to upgrade your pc, just like you would if you were performing a regular upgrade from within Windows.

You are not given a new CD key.

So lets say you pay to upgrade business to ultimate if you don't get a new key that would mean every clean install you start from business again how do they verify it's you if you want to go ultimate again? Do you have to do this every time?

I think you need to do this every time because since you are not given a new cd key, the Vista installation software will still read your key as w/e version you purchased originally. It's a PITA but in reality not too big of a deal if you have a couple hours.

My suggestion: make an image of your computer once you've upgraded and have all the basics set up. Then you won't need to deal with installing and upgrading.

For those people that used Windows Anytime Upgrade and don't know how to reinstall Vista:

I contacted Microsoft's Anytime Upgrade phone number at 1-877-666-2296. They told me that your new key would be placed in your digital locker within three days of you upgrading.

They also said that when you want to reinstall Vista that you can call up them and they will help you reinstall Vista Ultimate.

Here is the post regarding Microsoft Office 2007 incase anyone missed it:

Here are the direct links to the files:

Someone who used the Anytime Upgrade should be a brave test subject and do a reinstall and see how many hoops Microsoft makes you jump through to get your Vista Ultimate installed.

Are these OEM versions? If not, what are they?

/me hasnt kept up to date in this thread

If you need office 2007 media, order the office 2007 media trial (it comes with a trial cd) which then you can use your retail key on... will cost you $10

Cool idea, thanks! I think I might do this just so I have real media instead of my burned CD's of the installation files.

edit: Can you give me a link to where to order the CD? I can only seem to find the download version.

Those are the direct links for the trial version, which will install as a full install if you use your key from the Power Together mailing.

For everyone still thinking where is mine? You WILL have it by this Friday at the latest unless you where late turning in your W9, which will slow it down by a week

Where did this info come from? I faxed in my W9 2 days after we got the emails. Still no packages in the mail as of today. I'm in the Detroit, MI area with a last name that starts with "S"

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
