    Finally i got my Vista express upgrade DVD (Home premium) yesterday though there wasn't any change in my status in their website.

    I already run windows vista without using any key (by using the DVD i got from one of my friend) and rearmed once (you could postpone activating upto 120 days using rearm command or using a minor registry hack upto 360 days) :D. I was too lazy :rolleyes: to reinstall vista with the DVD i got from dell and just entered my OEM key and surprise :eek: my copy of vista got activated (No double installation using vista DVD or no upgrade from XP MCE).

    Just wondering, do they actually ship you a Dell DVD or a Microsoft DVD?
