217002 2004-02-22 13:53:00 If people didnt get any email confirmation ite likely because at the form where it says address 1 2 and 3.It goes address 1 is the number where u live. address 2 is the street name and address 3 is the st,place,drive,avenue etc..

I went and filled the form again and got a confirmation in 3 seconds

217003 2004-02-22 14:21:00 Worked on the 3rd try. I'm using Firebird, and also was shot to a non-displaying page. I was part way through re-trying using IE when the confirmation e-mail arrived. It should be handy when I have to re-install XP which I should have to do shortly - it's been over a month now. :-) R2x1 (4628)
217004 2004-02-22 16:05:00 Has anyone checked this out. I mean realy checked. Just sounds suspicious to me. Wonder if it's a phony.
I would check with MS before sending this off.

Not "really checked", but you could look at ZD Net here (zdnet.com.com) for an opinion.

Well, trawl through microsoft's site, and the offer is there, the address is the same and the blank page comes up quite often too. Add to that the fact that the CD is already 5 months out of date, it'll probably be 6 months out of date when it arrives, and it sounds pretty genuine M$ Like a post on ZD net, maybe I'll wait for the sequels to come out, and then get the collector's edition. :-)

217007 2004-02-23 15:06:00 Got the same blank page as most of the others here so i submitted it twice more. I have now recived 3 order confirmations but still get the blank page. Wonder if I will get 3 deliveries ;-) Odin (227)
217008 2004-02-23 17:07:00 Why can't they have just one simple adress bar.Not like address 1 2 and 3 where u have to split your address up.ITs a nuisance .I wouldn't know what it was until somebody told me.I thought that address 2 and 3 is like your alternative address!! yingxuan (3330)
217009 2004-02-23 20:01:00 Very Funny R2X1, and as for ther alternative addresses, that is what I thought to, Yingxuan.

I have my confirmation email, Yay. No more 5 hour downloads gritting my teeth hoping that the connection won't be broken, or my place has a momentary power failure, or in some way or another the d/l wil fail as I have had happen before.

In the event one has to reinstall Windows, or install it on another machine it saves hours of wasted time redownloading the boatload of security updates.
