Those who've ordered the Preview Program (esp. in the UK)

Hello folks:

 

I ordered my copy of the preview from Microsoft UK's website and although it showed a confirmation page, I haven't received the usual "Order Complete" email from them. Is this normal?

 

Regards,

Russell

Thanks for the information fishy2k, that has put my mind at rest. I wouldn't mind if they don't decide to charge my card either, but we'll have to see LOL!

 

 

With regards,

Has anyone in the UK had a weekly email and/or email reply to their order of the preview program

I wondered exactly the same thing so I e-mailed Microsoft UK and thus is the response I got from them:

Same here really, i signed up 4 the UK preview a couple of weeks back. Had nothing at all yet from microsoft. As it could be a few more weeks b4 we get our cds, i'm downloading a copy now. Only 12 hours 2 go *sighs* This is the 3rd copy now i've tried to get. I downloaded 90% of 2495 b4 the site was pulled, then 20% of RC1. Now i'm getting a rather old 2464 version. I'm stuck on a humble 56k modem here. We can't get ADSL or CABLE in this part of Wales
