    Dell released a statement saying they won't be charging US customers. But what about us Canucks? =( We always get left out in the cold...

    I just got the first of my upgrades (Win 7 Home Premium 64bit) - it was shipped on Oct 26th and arrived today.
    The order was placed on Oct 22nd.

    The upgrade kit comes with :
    1. Windows 7 Upgrade Option DVD
    2. Windows 7 Upgrade Assitant DVD
    3. COA for Windows 7

    I will take a look at what is on the discs and then go through the install (on the XPS 1640) and then report back.
