If you want to make CD's for Office 2007 do the following, download the installers from Microsoft... Run them until you get to the CD key entry screen... now go to %TEMP% and there should ge a folder in there called OWP206.tmp or something similar... open that folder, copy the contents and burn it to a CD and now you have exactly what comes on the retail CD with auto play and all

For those who burnt their copies of office w/ printable media, does anyone have a good picture they used for it? Still waiting for both in MA.

[mudslag]

the biz key wont work with ultimate right?

[Kaidiir]

Bahhhhhh.

Hope mine comes tomorrow :unsure:

mmm a black Sharpie marker works fine for me

[Darrian]

This is a no-brainer, but I'll answer, anyway. No.

It'll cost $139 for the Anytime Upgrade. I'm still debating whether or not I actually need Ultimate, but that's a pretty good price, cheaper than the OEM Ultimate. Personally I think it should have been $100, because that's the difference in price between the retail versions, but it's hard to bitch when you got Business for free.

I ment to ask something else but figured it out.

hmmm..barneyt mentioned (post # 1317) that he downloaded the 64-bit version, and it worked with the key he got with the 32-bit edition. Wonder what that link is...

More than likely downloaded it via a torrent or newsgroups.

It's called capitalism and I think it's going to do well. Besides why should Microsoft make billions and then look down on other people who try to scrape by.

Because these Vista discs are very clearly labled "Not for resale". That makes selling them a violation of the license agreement, and possibly illegal.

Here is the working link to get the 64-bit version. I tried it and got an error during the process, but that just might be my problem. I will be ordering it very soon.

I'm sorry, but why is it more then likely a torrent or newsgroup? How many tens of thousands of beta testers got a free copy of both 32 and 64bit iso's they downloaded from MS? The ISO has ALL versions on it, your version is determined by your key... so more then likely they got it from MS in a legit way at the current point in time

[Digitalx]

its officially released now :D

[Windam]

its officially released now :D

Either this or a new thread is going to be packed. heh

Well, I have no plans on selling my Vista and had no plans on selling Office. But, after seeing so many on Ebay, I'm considering selling Office (since it doesn't appear to have any NFR restrictions on the packaging) just to help pay for an upgrade to Vista Ultimate.

Doesn't MS usually have Ebay stop any auctions they feel are not legit?

At least I wouldn't feel as bad since the money would really end up going back to Microsoft to pay for the Anytime Upgrade.

Still haven't received Office here in Cincinnati.

Or you could simply take the file you downloaded and open it with WinRAR. You'll then see the same exact contents while skipping a few of your steps. Extract them all to a folder and burn them. It'll run fine with autoplay and everything.

I'm right across the river from you in Newport, KY. Hello neighbor :laugh:

We might get ours around the same time

[Pegasus124]

I can confirm that I received Microsoft Office Professional 2007 in the mail today on 29 January 2007, and it showed up in a yellow manilla envelope as everyone had said.

I'm in Connecticut USA.

[scotters83]

Anybody in Ohio get the Vista/Office combo yet?... Here in Columbus and still waiting.

Its called stealing. It could come under an example of a person biting from the hand which feeds them. Why should Microsoft do anything like this in the future if so many people are going to abuse it?

Its just wrong! reguardless of how people want to justify themselves.

Got mine today in Raleigh, NC! I don't think my Intel Graphics Accelerator 900 supports Aero so it looks like I'll be buying a new laptop soon.

When I opened it in WinRAR (latest version), it didnt open as an archive... came up and asked me how I want to compress it as a rar... not sure why

Charlotte, NC here!

Today in the mail (USPS), I received Vista Business and Office 2007 Pro from the PowerTogether promo.

I did both offers and faxed in my W-9 the second day the fax could be accepted (after receiving the email about filling out the W-9).

Last name begins with "E".

Special thanks to Mark Brown, Microsoft, and Catalysis for a successful promotion! :D
