JustGeorge Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hey is it normal not too be prompted for a product key during or after installation of Vista Business RTM? I just installed it and I haven't been asked to enter it yet. Says I have 3 days till auto activate. Does it ask for it then? *No I didn't receive mine from the offer yet. A friend of mine DL'd the ISO for Business edition from the MS eOpen website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin- Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I just got this today:Dear Michael: Congratulations, you?ve learned how to build well-connected, visually stunning applications with Windows Vista, and now your free, full-licensed copy of Windows Vista Business is on its way. Please be patient. We cannot ship your gift until Windows Vista Business is released to manufacturing. Your free software should arrive in six to eight weeks after RTM. If it doesn't arrive after eight weeks, please contact a customer service representative at Windows Vista and Office Kit Order Admin. Be sure to have your confirmation number xxxxx on hand. woot I got this for the Office one a few days ago.:):) I didn't sign up for the Vista ones, because I'm supposed to be getting the upgrade of it. MS has been very generous, I think. They've given away a lot of stuff here lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blanger Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 So I guess this means there won't be e-mai notification when the gifts actually ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WooSH Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 ^^ there has to be SOME differnce for the actual buyers. anyone know how much it costs to upgrade to Ultimate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PricklyPoo Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 So its $70.00 to upgrade to Ultimate right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddfx Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 MS never officially gave details on Anytime Upgrade so your guess is as good as mine... Retail difference between Business and Ultimate is $100, upgrade difference is $69 I can only guess it's between those two figures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PNWDweller Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 FINALLY! Got the fax to go through, ATM the number is NOT BUSY! But I am sure it will be soon, so you want to get your fax through, do it now. Also, I had to set mine to "overseas mode" which waits longer than the standard 30 seconds to get a signal as it rang a lot of times. Good luck!

Mike Frett Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Got my email also. Waiting patiently even though I can't run it on my pc. I'll just hang it on the wall and stare at it until I win the lotto so I can upgrade. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windam Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 ^ With those specs you shouldn't have a problem. My other desktop is a Vaio running a 2.4 Northwood with a 9600SE and 1GB of DDR RAM and it runs beautifully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digitalx Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 somehow i doubt it will be retail package fancy curved box thing to keep prices down so i would say it be something more simpler like a plain DVD case or a paper Slip with the key on a sticker on the box/paper disk slip.

jafoman Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 wow you are dumb... the site itself was hosted by a 3rd party, so yes its not "theirs" but the promotion was from microsoft, the site was made by microsoft, they just contracted out the hosting, heck even on channel9 which is a MICROSOFT site with MICROSOFT employees the employees are talking about when we will get this stuff... learn to add the pieces together then come back here and say you are wrong... So much hate... LOL... This is the ORIGINAL POSTER you are flaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
