    "Thank you for your interest in the Dell Express Upgrade Program for Microsoft Windows Vista.

    The product will be released from Microsoft in late February, and you will get the product after late February by 4-6 weeks.

    Sincerely,

    The Dell Express Upgrade Team"


    So we should have it by what the end of April? Unreal....

    The way I see it, we are getting it for a discounted price. If you need it quicker, just buy it off the shelf. :)

    Well technically if we did then it probably would be "unsupported" even though we might buy the same version. Personally however I will probably get the Vista Upgrade via the Family Pricing program for those that got the Ultimate edition. This way I will have one for my laptop and it will be a clean install. I have a non-OEM XP license to support this upgrade path.

    Yeah, canux waiting for the upgrade kit here too.

    The weird thing is I never received an eMail confirmation about it and I can't re-enter my Service Tag in the webpage (beign used).

    Maybe I should contact DELL?

    DHL just called and said mine is arriving today. Dell messed up on the upgrade site and would not allow most addresses to include Suite or Apartment numbers. Dell's site would reject these on both the billing and delivery addresses. DHL called and said that they had hundreds of problems with delivery due to this. Luckily Dell provided them my phone number so they could work to resolve this.

    Canada here too and no vista upgrade yet. They haven't even confirmed the order yet, just an email saying something to the effect of "We are checking to make sure your system is compatible". This is from Jan 30th.
