Looking at the worthless 10.1 on the stack of other boxes back to 6.2
makes me wonder...maybe I can feature them on the Antiques Road Show.

I emailed customer service early this morning, and still no word from
Novell.  Is it a DR problem or WHAT???

They should at least take the available 12/18 statement off their web
page!
I got my 10.2 boxed set today an have seen others saying they 
recieved theirs also. I have not had time to install mine got it out 
of box but have to wait til tuesday of next week if I get a couple 
projects out of the way here at work by then.

 Tom I called customer service this morning after no reply in 72 hours like 
 email said. There answer was Novell build each order and normally 7-10 days 
 until shipment, then its over night. We'll tommorrow is ten days from my 
 order.  Sounds like BS from customer service.

 Thanks, Russ.  Merry Christmas, Sir!
 
 

From what I gathered from previous emails on the subject, you will NOT find it
on the shelves of CompUSA or any other retailer in the USA.

I'm sure MS is very pleased about that if true. Part of the DEAL, I'm sure...

Yeah, I wondered that too, which is another reason I ordered early.  Now
with the backorder situation here, I wonder if the deal included a
built-in delay for the US to not deliver before VISTA or Christmas?

I'm bummed, but 9.3 is bullet proof, so probably best giving it to my
son in Texas anyway...

Well, not certain bout that. There is something in the messages about 
being custom built per order. I had assumed that was only for biz w/ 
mega copy numbers. 
but I suppose someone could be hand making them ...  Hope no one gets a 
paper cut, or ?? doing it.. all that glue for sealing boxes could be

Nope, I ordered on the first day it was up.. haven't heard anything at 
all from them other than the first message. I want the boxed set before 
I start hitting the other computers around here.
