The offer for us Vista Ultimate owners to purchase the key for two Home
Premium installs is tagged with a "limited offer" byline. Does anyone know
how long this offer will be open? I am not quite ready to up my other
computers... have to wait to up their hardware first, but don't want to miss
out on this saving. Also, if I purchase the keys now, will I be able to use
them a few months down the line, say, when I get to my other "children"?

This Vista is a wonderful experience. Love Aero, and Dream--whatever. Now
if only my other programs could catch up with Vista compatible versions.
Incredimail, ZoneAlarm, etc. Sigh.

I'd have sworn I'd read once that it was valid into March (or was it
May?) but now I can't find anything specific. Only "this offer may
expire at any time".

I guess that means I'll be taking advantage of it sooner rather than
later....

I'd planned on putting it off for a month or so.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

If you visit the Web site it contains all the details.

The keys are just like any other key you get.

They are good permanently.

The offer just ends at a certain point (I believe in June) so buy now and
use later :)

Thanks for the info. Looks like I will have to buy now, use later just to be
safe. Thanks again, everyone.
