Does anyone know when did Amazon stop taking pre-orders of Vista? I wonder why it happened?

Happend ages ago don't know why!

There are Internet reports the Microsoft plans to unveil Vista and Office 2007 on January 29 at a special event in Times Square in New York City. The event is supposed to be called "Wow Starts Now."

[Znod]

I hear it is being called "Ow Starts Now" (meaning at least the price Ow).

Quote from Lawyer about TechNet

Subscribe to Microsoft's TechNet Plus Direct ($349 US plus tax for the first year) and download both DVDs -- the 64-bit version (which includes Ultimate and the lesser versions depending on which key you use) and the 32-bit ISO
(ditto for versions). And, you'll get keys for all versions which are not
in any way crippled or time limited.

The EULA says you may use TechNet direct downloads *for evaluation purposes* and activate each *version* on up to 10 computers. As a lawyer who knows MS
can write a killer EULA when they want to, that vague language is not likely
to be a mistake. If it is, act soon before MS's General Counsel reads
this newsgroup (as I am sure he does in his spare time) and re-writes the
thing.
