What license terms are attached to the Vista Business that we're getting? I sort of want to install it on my current computer to play with it a little but I am planning on retiring it in the next few months when I build a new one. Would I be able to transfer Vista to the new computer later on or do the standard OEM license terms apply?

if you are only getting office you do not need to send a w9 form in right? A post a few pages ago confused me on this. I live in Michigan and got nothing yet.

i'm in MI too (West MI) and still waiting for my Office key.....if you only registered for office you don't need to fill out a w-9. we just have to wait. please pm me if you get your copy, i'll do the same if i get mine first

Awesome, just got mine in Virginia!

My roommate almost freaked me out, though. I asked him after work if he'd checked the mail, he said yeah, I asked about a large yellow envelope; naturally I became excited and asked him where it was. He said he thought it was some spam from Microsoft and had thrown it away! I was halfway to the garbage can when he threw the package at me and started laughing. Close call on that one. :p

Do you guys know what the website it where we download Office?? Is it specific per person or the same address for everyone?

As far as I know, the link is just the same public download link (for the Trial) and then they give you the cd key to enter ...hence turning the trial into the full version.

I've just installed Vista Business on my computer. I figured I'd check out Anytime Upgrade and I'm having some major problems with it. I open it up, click "Upgrade to windows vista ultimate", click "begin upgrade process", and then I'm taken to a website that tells me to select my retailer. I click any random one (since I got my copy of vista through MSDNAA at my school) and then I'm taken to a page that says tells me to enter a username and password....

I'm lost right there. I was under the impression I was going to have to go to a site to enter my CC info and then just upgrade to Ultimate. I don't have any username or password. Anyone tried this yet with any success?

So I was reading this thread (and have been routinely) looking to see if people were still getting them. Yes, and I was thinking where is mine??! Then I called my downstairs phone and asked if the mail was checked today and it wasn't. I said I was just waiting for something and then they said a package from Microsoft came YESTERDAY. I was like "omg!!" and hung-up and ran downstairs. Yep, it came :D ;).

Is you your .net live account or whatever they call it?

Mine came yesterday and I'm in Overland Park too.

I did the Vista offer. Just checked my mail today, it was there (didn't check it for a few days so not sure when it arrived)

I live in Overland Park, KS

Didn't do the Office offer, but feeling stupid that I didn't!

I got my copy of Vista Business through MSNDAA at my school. I had two options: 5 Cds or 1 DVD. I signed up for both and d/l'd and installed the dvd. I was given two different cd keys for the two options.

Could i use the dvd i burned and install vista on my other computer and use the key from the 5 cds or am i gonna have to actually d/l and install from the cds to use the key.

Sorry for the lack of spelling and punctuation and grammar and all i'm pretty good into a botlte of everclear right now
