Guest RJK Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 While working on an old XP system box for a "friend," and MS updating it, up popped MS's "...this copy has been stolen etc," so I did the online hot-fix and duly coughed up the £63.45 for a license code and did the hot-fix, and during the procedure I'm sure I saw, in as many words, "...you'll get a XP cd in the post." MS sent me an email saying that it was shipped on the 6th, no sign of a disk yet. Anyone know where it comes from or how long it takes ? ...also, I'm sure I saw in the news that there are postal strikes going on in the UK somewhere ! regards, Richard

Guest Bob I Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Re: XP License online / delivery time ? Humm, Stateside I got a CD in 6 days(with a Please allow 14 days disclaimer), but If strikes are involved, it may take the full two weeks. ;-) RJK wrote: > While working on an old XP system box for a "friend," and MS updating it, up > popped MS's "...this copy has been stolen etc," so I did the online > hot-fix and duly coughed up the £63.45 for a license code and did the > hot-fix, and during the procedure I'm sure I saw, in as many words, > "...you'll get a XP cd in the post."
