Q: None of my distributors have a sku for Office OPK masterkit?? do you have a sku or microsoft part number? thanks larry fisher
A: In the US, the SKU is 269-11521 You can find active SKUs under https://oem.microsoft.com under "ordering product/Active part numers"
Q: Can I download the key code for the 60day trail when we install the opk for the customer?
A: Yes. You should go to https://oem.microsoft.com/officeaa to download the Activation Assistant. You can also send your customers to https://www.microsoft.com/office/pctrial, but it's deffinitely better for you to sell the PC all ready with the activation tool.
Q: Can you buy additional license's for Vista without buying the installation software legally?
A: No, Vista keys always come with the Vista bits.
Q: I just tried the code for the oem and it did not work. Who would I get with on this? Second, will the remote from MCE work with vista ultimate media center?
A: yes, the remote works with Ultimate.
Q: When will Microsoft stop selling Windows XP Home (not eligible for downgrade rights)?
A: We are not sure of the timeline. Please check back with the XP site for more information. https://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsxp/default.mspx

Thanks Brian. Glad it was good - and hopefully now more widely visible as it's available on demand.
