Ha Ha got my tracking number for the uk!

Was in panic when i used the number and it showed just ''york uk'' instead of my full address but my full address is in the email so i guess nothing to worry about.

DHL for mine.

No tracking info here yet. If it has shipped and they just haven't forwarded the info, it may get here by the weekend. If it hasn't shipped, or even if it goes out today, it won't be here by the 10th as very few (and as I understand it they are using Useless Parcel Service for Canada) delivery services deliver on the weekend here. That and this weekend is our Thanksgiving weekend. At best it will be sometime next week, and if it is UPS then we'll be lucky to see it by next weekend.

I got my package. I have one question, where are the keys for the OS? lo


EDIT: NVM, I was too overwhelmed I didn't read the piece of paper that said it's for both 32bit and 64bit.

Dear Microsoft, I'm forever your slave.

D: I haven't gotten my tracking info!
But I have gotten then email saying "You'll get your tracking info as soon as it's shipped", so I'm not too worried

Dear Shazam,

Please forward your CD keys to either Tews or Dinesh.

Regards,

Question, if you activate it on x64 are you able to use it with x86 (and it just de-activates the x64 install?)

Activation confuses me.

 

[Barman58]

If you install on one architecture you would be expected to unnstall this before installing and activating another

1 key = 1 install

Makes sense, just making sure it wasn't bound to that specific type forever.

I think the main confusion arises because people see two physical media and assume that the media is the important thing rather than the licence key which is in fact what you purchase

The main confusion for me was the lack of information on the key itself, I understood that their was only one key (two would have been nice but hey, free either way!).

I just didn't know if it was bound to x64 if I used it with x64, meaning it could no longer activate a x86 install. Which you cleared up (thank you).

why does it say the 32bit the /signature/ edition, and the 64bit is just that, 64 bit, not 64bit signature edition...

Is there something in a signature edition not in the 64 bit edition....

suppose i'll have to install them both and see whats different.

No, there's not. It has nothing extra compared to the TechNet RTM or the retail boxed versions. No extra wallpapers or screensavers, nothing.

Only extra is Steve Ballmer's signature.
