I'm in Raleigh as well and have recieved nothing yet.

Well, I was bummed out that I did not order a copy of Vista to go along with Office 2007, so I contacted the person in charge of MSDNAA at my school. He said he didn't know when they would be getting Vista. I got an email 10 mins ago from him saying that they now have Vista Business on DVD to download. I guess everything turned out well.

Only question I have is this: it doesn't say Academic version or anything. It says Vista Business. Does this mean I could upgrade to Ultimate using this copy?

Jealous of you all. I am waiting for my office and haven't heard of anyone getting it yet. At least I take laughs in that I have been using my vista license for over a month now.

There was a post here about someones boss receiving his package for the Office download at about the time Vista started appearing on peoples doorsteps.

I'll be interested to hear when those who submitted the W-9 for both offers start receiving their packages.

Thanks for the info Steve. We'll have to wait another week or so. No biggie. WoW! Its like Charlie getting his golden ticket. Crazy. Congrats to everyone and pretty cool seeing the replies from all over the US. Its unfortunate the Vista teams world wide couldn't have worked better together on this promotion to get this out to our boys in Europe and around the world.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
    • How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
    • I'd basically agree. The only point I would add is to be careful not to treat science as a religion, complete with priests, dogma, and blasphemy. Humans are highly susceptible to religious-oriented ways of thinking since it aids in forming communities of like-minded people. The problem is that when this happens, nobody wants to be ostracized from the group by saying that a deeply-held idea is wrong. Science and "peer review" are not immune to this behavior, unfortunately. In the end, finding truth is our own responsibility and we can't depend on others to hand it to us. Skepticism is key, along with curiosity and the willingness to critically evaluate and consider ideas both new and old.
