I called and my order was shipped on the 26th but I never received it.

Bug them to replace it. Usually with the mail when something's lost it eventually shows up a few weeks later. So if you get them to replace it you probably eventually will get the original and then you'll have two! Did you verify your address?

I don't want to be negative, but on the site it specifically said "all returned packages will not be re-sent" so hopefully that is not what happened.

... I am kinda in the same boat...still waiting :cry:

Thread bumpage.

Surprisingly, my Office and Vista arrived today at work even though my shipping address was listed as my home address. It looks like they combined the zip code from my home address and the office's street address. No wonder it took so long.

By the way, I forgot to sign my W-9 form the first time around so I had to fax it again. All in all I faxed them the form 3 times.

Anyway, it is here and I'm happy.

I earned the 2 prizes, if I don't send the W-9 I olny receive 1 or nothing?

I still don't get why people are so antsy about sending in the W-9 form. It's a standard form that the IRS requires them to collect in this situation (giving out over $600 in gifts). You'd fill out the same form if you won a big prize on your local radio station. When will people stop acting like tin-foil-hat-wearing-conspiracy-theorists and just accept the fact that not everyone is out to steal your Social Security number. Hell, you give out more information than this when you apply for a job at McDonalds.

I just called the customer service number, and they said they had not gotten my w9 even though I faxed it in 2 weeks ago. So I sent it into them. But they said that's what was holding up my order of both office and vista. They also said they were not done shipping those out yet.

I have a quick question for anyone that received the Office 2007 code. I was going to install Office 2007 on my system, but I'll be building a new PC in 3 or 4 months. I am worried about the licensing and if I'll be able to reinstall it on the new system without any registration/licensing issues. If there are any, I would just as soon wait and save it for the new one.

Anyone installed the "PowerTogether" version and then moved it to another system already?

(The other option is to install it on my wife's system and just leave it there). :no:

Office 2007 does not have the rigorous licensing scheme that Vista has for VLK, but I'm not sure about retail licenses such as these. This is the closest I could come to an answer:

You can activate your free copy of Office Professional 2007 on up to 2 computers. So you would be able to activate it on both your current PC and your new one, but after that, you will have to call the 1-800 number and explain your situation in order to activate it. The reps at the activation support center are usually pretty understanding and won't give you too hard a time.

      Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.

      Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
