Has anyone ordered Vista Beta 2 discs from MS and recieved them yet? I'd like to know how long of a wait it really is.

Thanks.

Ordered the Office 2007 Beta on Tuesday - here today, Friday.

Ordered the Vista Beta 2 same day, maybe tomorrow ?

Probably less time than the download. :)

It took them nearly five months to send me my Windows XP Professional x64 Edition disc.

So they get 'em to you in less than an hour and a half now days? :p

At work it was more like 30 minutes for me. Maybe vista comes with a pizza guarantee of 30 minutes or less now, lol?

Do you have to tip the Microsoft guy that delivers it?

I got mine in about 4 days. However, Vista 64 won't work (get a BSOD while loading the initial files when booting from disk). Vista 32 works perfectly though (installed first time no problem, and have yet to have any problems actually). Not sure what's wrong with my Vista 64 disk (I tried it like 8 times... BSOD each time).

I ordered mine on 7 June and the DVDs just arrived in the mail yesterday.

(Installing right now!).
