I am wrapped that this morning I received the email with the two keys that I ordered. Have already activated the two machines that were getting themCool

And with the dollar being though the roof at the moment it really has turned out to be a great buy.

No I have a work colleague in the US and used his address with a "care of". I also used my Amex incase they checked for US credit card which I have found to work in the past even though on the amex site it is listed as "non US".

bountypure.. I did consider buying extra copies but I would not have been able to legally transfer ownership. The keys are tied to my liveID.

Why couldn't we get it here for that price for pre ordering in NZ.

Maybe Microsoft is still angry with the NZ government for not jumping at the chance to negotiate case by case for software supply costs.

I did post it when it was still active... not sure if anyone else took the punt though.
