I got mine today in the US. Came in a DVD case, with the software key/sticker on the back. Kind of funny, but it says you have to place the COA sticker on your PC.

Here's the "official word" from Microsoft's site:

Note: Orders for the Technology Advancement Program must be placed by July 31, 2005.

In other words, it's too late now. But you can still buy an OEM version with qualifying hardware (mine came with a USB cable for "qualifying hardware").

Yeah too bad mine cost me only the shipping ! Guess anyone else might as well wait for Vista if they have XP pro no point in dishing out all kinds for this, might as well just wait a little longer.
