Same here! I even went so far as to get the DVD Kit (becasue I can't download it) Then again, Microsoft has never been spectacular with emailing me, at least.
I spent about 3 years maintaining macs and pc's at a university. Most of that time was spent rebuilding macs. The only time I had to touch the pc's is when hardware goes bad.
I received no email from Microsoft either, despite being a registered Beta 2 tester. Then again, my Beta 2 download from Microsoft was corrupted. Snagged it with bittorrent and that one worked without a hitch. I love irony. You should've seen the feedback I sent them after that.
Just activated vista this morning. I selected "activate by phone" option and called Microsoft in Finland. The automated phone activation failed, but when the call was redirected to a support person, the activation went smoothly. The MS tech support girl asked product ID -- I told I don't have one because I downloaded the software from the net -- after that, she gave me the activation key :)

<a class="user" href="http://www.digitalsir.ru/">http://www.digitalsir.ru/</a>Some words about Windows Vista. But I think after Windows XP much users uninstall this OS and install programs from unix family, as Linux...But it's my opinion.
