Still waiting in NW PA too. Faxed my W-9 in on the 31st (talk about last minute!).

Actually if it hadn't been for this board, I wouldn't have realized I needed to send in a W-9, I didn't even notice it stated that in the office 2007 e-mail I received. Guess I should stop skimming e-mails! Keeping my fingers crossed for next week...

Got my copy today in the UK!! Well chuffed that they sent it.

Now how did you do that? Did you just give them your address in the UK and they blew it? Supposed to be USA only, I'm sure you know. Did they add extra postage, cause how would it get there with only US postage?

Congrats!

I don't think so. If you really want to install on multiple machines, there's always Students and Teachers edition, or the good ole method of buying more licenses :D

Actually I just found this http://reviews.cnet.com/Microsoft_Office_2...7-32143052.html

We spent 40 minutes just skimming the 10,379-word End User License Agreement and stopped before we could understand it all. Here are some of the highlights: You're allowed to install Office 2007 software on two computers; you must agree to download updates whenever Microsoft decides you need them; and Microsoft may verify your license key at any time to make sure that you're not using pirated software.

I just entered my address and wrote United Kingdom just above USA. Seems that dhl weren't too bothered about sending it to the UK.

I got my free copy of Vista today - in Norway. Lucky for me, there's a company that offers mail-forwarding, so i just entered their USA-address when registering - and they forwarded it to my address in norway. Not completely free, but $20 is a fair price for Vista :p

BTW: Did any of you have trouble activating? When i tried earlier today, it did not work - it didn't even say the key was wrong - it just displayed the key dialog with a message to enter the key again. When i clicked more details, there was an error code, and message saying that the key is already in use :|

Tried again a few hours later, and now it worked ;)

damn not in Dallas, TX

I am getting impatient...

I felt the same way until I got it (of course 'patience' is not in my vocabulary). Did you get both? If you did and were late on your W-9, that would explain things. The company processing this for MS (Catalysis) has a phone number on their website you could call on Monday, (206) 826-8000, and see what you can find out.

Got my copy of Office here in Northeast nowheresville Georgia

Shame I don't really have a use for it.....wish I'd have gotten on the Vista offer!

Anyone needing a Office 2007 professional license?

free? ill take it :)

free? ill take it :)

hmm....i'm not sure. is it against Board rules to request something in trade for it perhaps?

Like I said I don't have a real use for it at the moment, but it is worth $499 MSRP.

I guess if anyone has any ideas, send me a PM. Otherwise it's just gonna take up some space on my desk.

    • Payday TWO!! Is 13 years old man I feel old - I remember trying it out and if I did not know I would say 5-6 years ago or something
    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
