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.

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.

    • Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a bunch of Dolby Atmos soundbar deals with several ones from Sony, as well as from JBL, Samsung, Polk Audio, and more. You can check them out in this dedicated piece. Those are not audiophile category speakers though as they are built with home theater use in mind. If you are searching for the former then Edifier has its S3000MKII at its lowest price at the moment (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is a two-way bookshelf monitor speaker designed to produce accurate sound. While it may not produce the best high-fidelity audio possible out there, it should still be significantly better than what you will get on soundbars of this price range. As such it will do justice to high-res audio played back through it. The only thing that may feel lacking is sub-bass as Edifier claims the unit can go down to 38 Hz, which should be enough for studio monitor purposes, but not for deep room-shaking rumbling bass. Where this does excel though is in its treble reproduction. With its super-tweeter, it claims to go as high as 40 kHz in the frequency spectrum, which should offer a sense of "air"yness. This is an active speaker which means it packs its own amplfication. It has a top-notch Class D amp that may be able to rival many Class AB designs too in terms of sound reproduction quality. The technical specs of the Edifier S3000MKII are given in the table below: Specification Value RMS Output Power 256W RMS (Treble: 8W × 2, Mid-Low: 120W × 2) Tweeter Driver 107mm × 107mm Planar Magnetic Tweeter Mid-Low Driver 6.5-inch (179mm) Long-Throw Aluminum Diaphragm Driver Frequency Response 38Hz – 40kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio ≥ 85dB (A) Bluetooth Version Bluetooth 5.0 Bluetooth Codec Qualcomm® aptX™ HD Wireless Speaker Link Proprietary 5.8GHz wireless connection between speakers Supported Hi-Res Audio Hi-Res Audio Certified, up to 24-bit/192kHz Digital Processing XMOS XU216 Digital Signal Processor Audio Inputs Balanced XLR, Optical, Coaxial, USB Type-B, Line In, Bluetooth Input Sensitivity (USB) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Optical) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Coaxial) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Bluetooth) 450 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Balanced XLR) 1000 ± 50mV Input Sensitivity (Line In) 600 ± 50mV ADC Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DSP Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DIX Capability Up to 24-bit/216kHz DAC Capability Up to 32-bit/384kHz XMOS Processing Power Up to 2,000 MIPS Edifier S3000MKII Audiophile Active (Powered) Wireless Speakers: $799.99 (Sold by Edifier US, Shipped by Amazon US) If you do not have the kind of budget to spend on the S3000MKII, you can also check out the Edifier R1280Ts which is right now on sale at just $114 (its lowest price in a very long time).

    • The best controller for XBOX and PC is down to the lowest price
