Ok, so I got an upgrade coupon for Vista when I bought XP. So I go to where it tells me to go, put in all my shit, credit card number, and I am about to confirm it then it says something like "Alert could not be sent." So I was like ok... I backed up, and tried it again. Kept doing it. So I was like shit, so I restarted from the beginning. Now when I enter in the redemption form number, it says it's already in use. So I am now fucked. That's great.

Try using the phone. They are pretty good at fixing these kinds of things up.

I agree with Avro. Why bother with Vista when OS X has been there, done that and done it better? Windows is playing catch-up and they are a fat, asthmatic kid. Windows is terrible and people are starting to realize that there are easier and better alternatives.

Why the hell would you want Vista now anyways?
Microsoft doesn't normally put out a new edition of the OS do they? Normally they put out things like service packs. Well this Redemption form is only good for a certain amount of time, so I wanted to get the OS, even if I don't install it and wait for them to work out the bugs.

They don't give me a phone number. I emailed the email they give me, but if I don't hear a reply by tomorrow, I will probably end up calling the Microsoft help deal.

I wouldn't bother, everything they come out with is buggy as shit for about a year.
Consider your problem a blessing.
:lol: Well like I said, I may not even install it when I get it. I would probably wait for their SPs to come out before I do to fix shit.
