    Anyone else get their's? I knew they said they'd ship out around March. I got mine the day before. Pretty cool that they shipped out so early.

    You will get a dhl email about it which will tell you what your airbill number is. I just got mine today. I actually got 2 different airbill numbers but I think the first one was voided out (i.e. it was an accident).

    I thought I only had to pay like $10, but it turns out I have to pay $59 to get an upgrade to Home Basic. No thanks!

    I didn't get any email from DHL and my status on the upgrade page still says pending.

    I purchased an upgrade to Vista Home premium with only $69 from academicsuperstore.com

    My m1210 was purchased last September so I cannot participate in Dell's vista upgrade program ...

    what im wondering is if we have to install vista twice for a clean install or just once. can anyone confirm if it is an upgrade DVD or a full installation disk?

    I am still waiting for mine to arrive (dimension c521). Do they come the cool boxes like in shop or just a CD by itself??
