great...thanks for the info.......

Nop, I just payed $18 USD, but I was saying that it was cheaper than normal US accounts (it is 1 dollar cheaper haha)

ACM seems interesting =0 i was looking their digital library and seems nice =0

Stupid question
So im guessing then if you get a key for the RTM version, its like an actual valid retail key right? Like lets say if I were to wait until October and get an actual retail version, this key and all the updates on this copy will be the exact same as a retail one?

Fresh!

We all owe you a bier or two....
many thanks........

I am really thinking about getting this and cancelling my order on Amazon :)

Wow, just found this thread, thanks masterB for posting this....., one quick question..after paying the fees, do I need to wait like 24 hrs to sign up the web a/c or can I immediately sign up the web a/c?

Oh, one more thing, I paid the fees and almost on the instant I got the email sales receipt with my client/order numbers, but on the bottom "Payment Information - Approved: Approval Pending", how do I tell/check if the payment has gone ok?

Thanks.
