cropcircles Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 You didn't need to complete them before - as long as you signed up before, you would get it. And why can't people calm down - 6-8 weeks have been mentioned several times - theres absolutely no need to keep asking, before february. You hope as long as its not first come, first served on the mailing lists.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeke009 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I just got a email back from them saying that it will be 6-8 weeks after the end of Jan... :( Actually that will work out perfect for those who qualified! That will give the driver developers more time to fix some any issues that come up for 32/64bit, applications to be updated for 32/64bit, and any popular games that require updating can hopefully be addressed soon in that time frame. I was wondering what I was going to do, install 32 or 64bit. But if I have 6-8 weeks after the end of Jan that should provide plenty of time for stable/reliable 64bit drivers and patches to be produced for major applications/games. Or am I just dreaming... guess that is always a possibility! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mburgoon Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 The site claims you should receive the DVD 6-8 weeks AFTER the product is released to manufacturing. Next week will be the 8th week since the date... as according to Microsoft, Vista was released to manufacturing on Nov. 8th, 2006.... http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/feature...08VistaRTM.mspx Humm.... excited anyone?

JustGeorge Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I get the feeling they actually meant " released to retail " so I'm not going to get excited. Would be a nice surprise if it showed up next week :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cropcircles Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Very exciting to get the package. I appreciate MS offering this promo telecast to get Vista out. Very little difference between Business and Ultimate. Thanks MS. Looking forward to installing during those cold Winter months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagamer34 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I wish Microsoft would do a grass-roots campaign with the more media centric versions of Vista. I want Vista Home Premium/Ultimate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cropcircles Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Yes cause we all need more boxes to sit on a shelf collecting dust :rolleyes: And the hundreds of CD's in those boxes.. I probably missed this along the line somewhere, but has it been checked out that all these different versions of Vista aren't all embeded into the same package. There is so very little difference between business and utimate and the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
