Just curious, do these show up in retail boxes?

Nope.

[Klethron]

Nope.

How do they ship?

How do they ship?

Go back a few pages - lots of pics. They are mailed in a manilla envelope, and the discs are in a cardboard thing. Nice, but very simple.

Just a FYI...... I tried installing the Vista Business Edition I got on a 64-bit system and I see that the 32-bit is all that is on the DVD. I had to download the 64-bit edition and then use my product key to get the right OS on my box......

Yeah that was established earlier ... there should be a link on a piece of paper that came with Vista that guides you to a form you fill out to get the 64-bit media. The website wasn't functioning yet though.

Nice to see people getting Office/Vista packages. I wish I had sent my W-9 in a bit earlier. I would probably be getting my stuff too. Anyone have any pictures of the Vista/Office combo packaging?

update - received and succesfully installed here in Rhode island! thank you microsoft.

A friend of mine did receive both Vista and Office yesterday here in NY.

I live in NY, :blink: I'd love to get both of mine in the mail today :yes: :whistle:

I'm pretty sure Canada is #5 on W's "Countries to Invade" list. It won't be too long!

Someone in Illinois over in the FatWallet forums got their Vista/Office combo pack today. So hopefully that means that those that did both offers will be getting theirs either tomorrow or early next week.

Whooohooo! Shouldn't be long then. I'm waiting for my free copy of Solaris too. The anticipation is killing me! :)

[DeusProto]

Just received my copy, here in Kentucky.

Note, I just did the Vista promotion not the office.

[k22]

So your saying that the Key will work with both 64 and 32? I can get a 64bit version but i wasn't sure if the keys were the same.

yes

[Dazed_N_Confused]

No love in Wisconsin yet! :angry: though i did do it for both office and vista

[TJ32]

If I do a clean install, will it delete my partition that I am going to have all my music and stuff on? Is there a way I can get it to leave the partition alone if it does.

I received my envelope with Office 2007 in it today. There was no physical disc, but there is a cardboard folder with a download link and product key inside.

[viciv]

Just for Office 2007. I already have a free copy of Ultimate from the tech beta program.

[srikar]

Finally I got my Vista DVD today. (Denver, Colorado). The information on the cover showed that it is mailed on Jan 22 07 from zipcode:55445.

I only did Vista.

[Witt3439]

I still haven't received mine yet either. I have both Office AND Vista Business coming.

I'm in WV

[Nogib]

Just got BOTH my Office and Vista in the same envelope today. And here I thought those of us who had to submit a W9 would have to wait longer. :D

Nogib - where are you located? Just curious so I know how much longer it might be for the combos to get to South Carolina.

MN, and I had snail-mailed my W9 instead of faxing no less.

[Boeing 787]

I want to see pics of Office that they ship.

Well, that makes sense since they're shipping them from MN. So that must mean they shipped the first batch of Office/Vista combos yesterday. Looks like Monday will probably be my earliest day to receive it.

Oh well, if that's the case, I'll still get it before Tuesday's retail launch!

Cool! I'm in MN as well and mailed my W-9 in to. Guess I can expect to see it fairly soon! :laugh: Too bad I won't have a chance to install for another week or two. :(
