yeah, it went rather fast... to all who got in on this deal previously... how long should it take to get this item? I ordered it thursday... I am just curious, cause the website says "6 to 8 weeks"

Took under a week, they did like 2 day air for me.


BTW it isn't showing back in stock for me either.

Takes 1-2 weeks to get the item, mine shipped a few days after I ordered and then arrived a few days after that.

bizarre - I literally just ordered it - I wonder if my order will go through since you guys are saying it's not there anymore. I've received a confirmation screen and email.

I believe the inventory tracking is real-time.

Just completed every test, have 5150, have seen XP Pro go back up and taken down during my testing over a 3 hour interrupted span....

The "price" the last time I saw it was 2500 points though, up from 1,500 in the original post about this. Just sitting and waiting to pull the trigger on a pair as soon as they show up again, 3 would have been nicer but how can you really complain.....

TY to Wadam1230 :beer:

I'm pretty sure XP Pro has always been 2500 pts. Thats what I "paid" for it. As for shipping, mine arrived in a week which is quite good IMO considering the fact that it is free. Most free deal items take forever to come for me.

Also, I noticed that they put up Age of Mythology. From what I've heard it is a cool game, but I'm not sure I want it bad enough to pay $10 shipping on it. (yes, I'm cheap) Hopefully another good game will come along and/or Office XP??

up above the little tab that says additional training are two that look more like ads but are really tests, I missed them the first half dozen times myself...

I got my copy at 1500 pts a while back. Long Live Costco. Woot, I dunno who makes these quizzes but I dont even read the info and I still get near perfect every time. Just open another window that has the real info and you're golden. So freaking easy. I love MS. Muahh
