Actually, in order to order anything from them now, you have to have submitted proof of a paystub from a Retail Partner. They put this in place about a year ago, to stop nefarious people from joining.

They probably called to confirm...
 
I have ordered a bunch of things and have never had a problem. I work for a retail partner and I am guessing that as long as you put in the correct information, they can contact your companys corporate HR amd quickly verify the info. I know for a fact that they don't call your local store. And, for that matter, unless someone from your store calls them after you leave/been fired/quit, MS will never know.

Ape Out.
 
Do they get other stuff back in stock very often? I really had my eye on the keyboard with the fingerprint device on it. Has anyone ever seen this in stock? What about Windows XP?

I've seen the keyboard/mouse with the reader available only once, about a month ago.

 
dunno if I should start a new thread, but if OP wants to change the title, win xp pro is available right now on my account too.
