Is this just regarding Vista and not Office'07 (ie both on CDs), or are they mailing both out?

Here is the thread, read up from good ole Mark.

Office is going to be a download, no media being sent out.

Great to hear! I have been checking my hotmail account constantly, but I am glad there is some official word on this.

Post from Mark Brown regarding shipping dates yesterday:

We should be shipping late this week and early next week.

Apologies for the delay. We had an issue over the holidays and with most everyone out we had to wait until people returned to get resolved.

So sit tight. We're putting them together and slapping shipping labels on 'em folks

Just got this email!

Congratulations, you?ve learned how to build well-connected, visually stunning applications with Windows Vista, and now your free, full-licensed copy of Windows Vista Business is on its way.

Please be patient. We cannot ship your gift until Windows Vista Business is released to manufacturing. Your free software should arrive in six to eight weeks after RTM. If it doesn't arrive after eight weeks, please contact a customer service representative at Windows Vista and Office Kit Order Admin.

So when do I get it?

Woot, I just received the same email. Looks like I need to read up on setting up a dual boot XP/Vista on my new system!

Cheers,
HeavyB

No. It was Business from the beginning. Hence the topic title.
