Still waiting in NW PA too. Faxed my W-9 in on the 31st (talk about last minute!).

Actually if it hadn't been for this board, I wouldn't have realized I needed to send in a W-9, I didn't even notice it stated that in the office 2007 e-mail I received. Guess I should stop skimming e-mails! Keeping my fingers crossed for next week...

Got my copy today in the UK!! Well chuffed that they sent it.

Now how did you do that? Did you just give them your address in the UK and they blew it? Supposed to be USA only, I'm sure you know. Did they add extra postage, cause how would it get there with only US postage?

Congrats!

I don't think so. If you really want to install on multiple machines, there's always Students and Teachers edition, or the good ole method of buying more licenses :D

Actually I just found this http://reviews.cnet.com/Microsoft_Office_2...7-32143052.html

We spent 40 minutes just skimming the 10,379-word End User License Agreement and stopped before we could understand it all. Here are some of the highlights: You're allowed to install Office 2007 software on two computers; you must agree to download updates whenever Microsoft decides you need them; and Microsoft may verify your license key at any time to make sure that you're not using pirated software.

I just entered my address and wrote United Kingdom just above USA. Seems that dhl weren't too bothered about sending it to the UK.

I got my free copy of Vista today - in Norway. Lucky for me, there's a company that offers mail-forwarding, so i just entered their USA-address when registering - and they forwarded it to my address in norway. Not completely free, but $20 is a fair price for Vista :p

BTW: Did any of you have trouble activating? When i tried earlier today, it did not work - it didn't even say the key was wrong - it just displayed the key dialog with a message to enter the key again. When i clicked more details, there was an error code, and message saying that the key is already in use :|

Tried again a few hours later, and now it worked ;)

damn not in Dallas, TX

I am getting impatient...

I felt the same way until I got it (of course 'patience' is not in my vocabulary). Did you get both? If you did and were late on your W-9, that would explain things. The company processing this for MS (Catalysis) has a phone number on their website you could call on Monday, (206) 826-8000, and see what you can find out.

hmm....i'm not sure. is it against Board rules to request something in trade for it perhaps?

Like I said I don't have a real use for it at the moment, but it is worth $499 MSRP.

I guess if anyone has any ideas, send me a PM. Otherwise it's just gonna take up some space on my desk.

      I'm too old to return to the "good old days" when I was installing custom ROMs and tinkering with my devices - now I just want to turn it on and use it. I've read that banking and payment apps work on Murena /e/OS (I'll have to check the ones I use) and I also really want to support Fairphone 😉
