Either I never got the email about sending in the W-9 or my junk mail picked it up and I missed it.

Can someone post the contents of that email or send it directly to me so I can get my W-9 in so I can get my free copy of Vista and Office.

I have tried contacting them but have not heard back so I thought this would be my second best option.

Thanks

The deadline was February 1st for sending the W9. I'm afraid you've missed out. It was posted about 10 pages ago.... maybe more or less, that's how I found out what to do.

Here's the link for filling out the W-9. I wouldn't pay too much attention to the deadline--there's a good chance they wouldn't enforce that if you sent it now. Also, you have to fax or snail mail it in addition to submitting it online. Also, there's a phone number on the website of the processing company (Catalysis), so you could call and maybe get some answers, (206) 826-8000. Here's the link:

Do you think it's worth the $10 for the 64bit copy if you can run it?

I already ordered mine. A bargain for a factory disk if you ask me! (whether you use it or not)

Has anyone been able to get a human response from this email address?

[email protected]

I just got a reply to an email I sent them 2 weeks ago. Even though I already received both office and vista 2 days ago.

This is the generic email that they are sending to everyone that contacts them....

So the e-mail is basically pointless, you will get it when you get it. I want mine though, I still haven't gotten it:(:(

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
