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.

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair
    • If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
