Lookin good, I hope mine comes soon.

BTW I know it will have a bunch of M$ bullcrap on it, but I hope it isnt like a 32mb drive with 30mb worth of junk of it that cant be removed :p

Normally M$ does fast shipping but damn I have been waiting forever, I got my SP2 CD faster. It's been 20 days already, 3 weeks...I think it only took a week for SP2 to arrive.

It's a 128 mb drive and I also posted earlier about a concern for read-only un-deletable files. I agree with you M$ would probably do something like that. We shall see if it ever gets here, it's been 4 weeks since I went in for one.

By the same right, they are providing you with a thumb-drive for information on a product, not a free thumb drive. I don't like MS either, but one can hardly complain if they are read-only files and unable to be deleted. Just means that we didn't get a free thumb drive (and cost MS the time and money to send it to us).

Guess no one noticed this -

*This offer is available in the U.S. only while supplies last. USB drive is 16MB in size. Limit one per customer. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery.

Then again, I didn't see that when I signed up a few weeks ago, so who knows.
