Vista - Family Discount Keys not working

what is going on? I tried both of them and neither worked. I heard apparently
is an issue with all the keys... how about an email explaining the problem,
how much to wait etc...

I read about this today that the early adapter were having problems with the
keys that MS gave to people that tried to use the family discount.

Here is an article about it on Neowin.net:

What seems to be going on is a big mess !!! Good luck. Glad I waited on this
one! I'm usually one that has it on order or pick it up on my way home from
work on the day of release. This time I beta tested and got to RC2 and
didn't see the rush to upgrade so I decided to wait until the dust settles.

ozzieXP,

All the people in these Forums are volunteers, not employees of Microsoft.
On extremely rare events will a Microsoft employee visit this Vista user News
Group.
