[fade2black]

For those of us who took the retail training quiz to win XP, this is great news.

Just got this in my mail:

Congratulations on earning a free Not-For-Resale copy of Microsoft Windows
XP Professional. Your Windows XP Professional CD has been shipped today
via UPS Ground. Please expect delivery within 10 business days to the
following address ..

So we didn't get shafted after all!

Ya, I was looking for that topic too, but it seems to have been deleted. That's why I posted a new message.

I hope this means they will ship out the ones they gave away on the scratch off webgame they had soon. I won XP professional from there and I hope I get it soon because my 180 trial of XP RC2 shouldnt last that much longer.

[fishsocks]

XP Pro ....on it's merry way

I got mine today, not much on packaging, only the CD in a plastic slip cover in a cardboard flat envelope. It says Not For Retail Or Oem Distibution, and has the cd key on the sticker. Also says: Unlicensed Software - Illegal without seperate license from Microsoft.

Unlicensed Software - Illegal without seperate license from Microsoft.
