Topic says it all.

I read that if you ordered the upgrade version you do NOT get the Big Black Box, as it's being called, you just get a soft envelope with all yer' stuff. Bummer for you people. Anybody get it yet or what? I know schweb got his...

Pictures would be cool :)

Well at one store.. you'll get a free dog tag and maybe mouse pad and it's closer.. and at the other store you'll get the same things, but it's further.. Plus you get the chance of winning a free iPod every half hour.. hmm.. :)

Plus here is a link with the picture of the dog tags:

Any updates on the rumored 10% off, and whether that applies to Educational pricing too?

We ordered ours yesterday (Thursday), which was one day too late to get it delivered tonight. We'll have it Monday or Tuesday next week. The excitement is killing me.

(EDIT) My dad has the government discount so he gets it for $64.50!!)

I got the official box earlier today when the fedex guy brought it. I had panther installed and up and running just in time to take it to the local panther party at the university bookstore. Panther is really nice, i like it, and I got the cool box.

i have one question with fast user switching is it supposed to just switch over or does it actually do that rotating of the screen thing that the box shows.
