got the same email, kinda funny. Microsoft having to backorder vista.

I'm sure retail shelves are still stock full of them.

well I can't complain its a free 400 dollar software that took about 1.5 hour out of my day anyhow.

Just received this email this afternoon. Looks like the copies will be arriving next week for us.

Good morning~

Thanks again for your patience. We can?t tell you how much we appreciate your helping us making Vista such a great success!

I just got mine today via DHL interestingly enough.

Its the retail version atleast that's what I presume, the case is similar to my office 2007 that I bought with a plastic case.

anyhow it contains a key too. so I guess I got 2 vista ultimate keys.

one via event, and one in the box.

Thanks OP for posting the signup. saved 800 bucks.

Cool. I haven't received it yet. It's strange, because we should get it in the same day.

EDIT: just got it, indeed packaging looks good. It was Airborne express for me. So did you try to activate it using event key?
