    It's kind of like cereal-box toys... you forget about it long after you ordered, then one day it shows up and is a great surprise.

    Yeah, it's been quite a few weeks since I sent out for mine. Still havn't gotten it. Hopefully I get it soon since it's been around 6 weeks I believe. I'll have to check. It said to allow 6-8 weeks for delivery.ne_nau.gif

    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Thank you for your interest in the Mystery Solved Windows® licensing promotion. We've received your request for more information to help clarify Microsoft® Windows Desktop Licensing pre-loaded on the USB drive. Unfortunately, this Mystery Solved promotion was available in the U.S. only and while supplies last. Supply is depleted at this time, so we encourage you to please utilize the online alternative today.

    Simply download* the Windows Desktop Licensing reference files directly at:

    To help simplify Windows Desktop Licensing, keep these points in mind:

    [/FONT] 1.gifspacer.gif [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]There are two legal ways to acquire a full Windows Desktop license: through your hardware vendor (OEM/System Builder) or Full Packaged Product.[/FONT] spacer.gif 2.gifspacer.gif [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Volume licensing covers Windows Desktop operating system upgrades only.[/FONT] spacer.gif 3.gifspacer.gif [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]OEM operating system licenses live and die with each PC–they are not transferable.[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
    Again, thank you for your interest in Mystery Solved and for helping us spread the word about proper Windows licensing.

    Sincerely,
