For some reason I was under the impression that using activation code is what starts the process of Microsoft shipping the CD's to you...IOW, the seller provides the activation code, the seller does not ship the CD's to you, Microsoft does.

Maybe some of these guys are on the up-and-up, and perhaps others aren't?

>>So what does that mean? You don't get any of the DVD's just the activation code so that you have to download everything? I mean geeze on a T3 it'd still take forever to get everything, plus then you'd have to burn it all off to DVD-R's or have a pile of hard drives laying around.
