Yesterday I received my order for Vista Ultimate and Office Ultimate. I'm already running Vista RTM bits on my main machine at home (I had a Beta and RC version, so I upgraded to RTM bits as soon as they were available internally. I believe this is the correct thing to do based on corporate policy... if not, someone should let me know. I did buy a full copy for every machine in my house once it was available).

This morning I kicked off the installation of Office, or rather the upgrade. Some comments:

• the new packagine is clever, not too intrusive but distinctive. I think I like it.
• Product keys suck. Having to type of 25 digit string of characters to install software is frustrating for me. Not too big of a deal on my PC - the one I really really really hate is doing this on the XBox.
• The installation is running, and so far I have only had 1 UAC dialog prompt.

I really enjoy using Office 2007 at work, so I'm pretty happy to finally have it up and running at home.
