Finally got mine too! Only wanted Windows Vista, don't need office, though kinda wish I had gotten office as well, I still use office 98 haha (Only gets used once every 6 months, at most).

Had a few bumps along the way with Vista, but nothing that didn't take a few seconds to fix. No games though...no Solitaire or nothing. (I know, bussiness don't need games lol). Still pretty good OS. Still suprised MS gave it out for free lol

You can still burn it to a CD, but it will just be files and not an ISO. Either way, you got a backup.

My neighbor actually has an MSDN subscription through his business and he is downoading me a copy of the Office 2007 Professional ISO. I'm assuming the key I just got in the mail will work with it.

I got my copy today but i will wait until i increase my ram to 1GB. I hope prices go down when vista comes out because DDR2 Ram is expensive right now. I will also order the 64 bit DVD from the website if the offer is good for us Power Together customers.

I will wait a while until I upgrade to Ultimate for MCE, I may need to find another HDTV tuner to replace my HDTV Wonder if ATI doesnt doesnt want to make 64 bit drivers for the tuner card.

I really wish they would provide you with an ISO image of Office rather than the executable file. It would be nice to burn this to CD.

Just extract the .exe file with WinRAR to it's own folder and then burn the contents of that folder complete with Autorun. :thumbsup:

I got my Vista Business today. If anyone wants it pm me for $ and via pay pal its yours!!! I already have Ultimate and don't need business.

Get a life!! I also received a copy from M.S. AND OWN EVERY WINDOW from 98 to VISTA Ultimate. I might pay you negative one cent for your copy lol.....

Got Office only here in Indianapolis. I only did Office as by the time I got to Vista it was sold out. I wish that I had managed to get Vista done. I already have Office 2007 from that "Ready for a new day" launch event. Now I have 2 copies of Office 2007.

It is interesting to note that is says, "Office 12 Eval" on the packing slip.

Umm you realize the games are on the CD, they just aren't installed by default right?

edit: And I'm waiting. I probably have a week or so because I didn't fax my W-9 in until Wednesday last week. I was too busy to go send a fax. Stupid law school. Now I have to wait for both Vista and Office.

PS Tersanyus I'd be happy to take the extra office off your hands :p

Ehh.... think I'll hold on to it! It will be useful for a 2nd PC.

I just wish I had been able to get both Vista and Office. It would have been nice to have one PC that has it's OS and Office installed free.

Just received my copy of Office today!! That's all I got. Don't need Vista. New computer won't be built until the end of the year.

BTW, I'm in Hutchinson, Kansas.

I have an MSDN account and have Vista Ultimate running on my laptop now. I am waiting on my Vista Business in the mail now. Someday soon I hope.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are there people who haven't received theirs yet? I just want to make sure I am not alone.

You are not alone! Are you supposed to recieve Vista and office, or just one of them? And where are you located?

I am supposed to receive both, I'm in Norther IL and have not received them yet.

    • 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.
