    While customizing a Dell E1505 notebook, I noticed the Vista upgrade. What is this all about?

    So, does that mean if I buy a notebook from them, I could upgrade it whenever I want?

    Yes, Dell will ship you the upgrade DVD when Vista is released and you
    can install it whenever you want.

    www.dellvistaupgrade.com

    In the UK it only gives you the option to select Home Basic or Business. Where's the rest of them?
