    could be up to 6 weeks from the launch of vista before dell ships. I am thinking that I might buy a store copy and install now and use my dell copy for my wifes notebook. But dell ships with a dvd that installs all of your drivers. I am really new to this and dont know if it would be easier to wait for dell to ship. any thoughts?

    to me 6 weeks is pretty long....especially when most pcs now come with windows vista....feels like im missing out...but this does give me sometime to think about how im going to do a clean install with what they give me.

    Do any of you guys still get the message that their system doesn't qualify for the upgrade?

    I've sent two emails and still don't have a reply to the second one, guess I'll start calling them again and see what story they come up with this time.

    I think dell upgrade site is of no use. try reaching the customer care

    EDIT: The best vista upgrade I've seen is from Acer. Its really easy to get an upgrade from Acer. Its easy as 1-2-3

    Gosh... finally i could place an order for windows vista experss upgrade for my inspiron 6400. I made my purchase on Dec 14 and when i tried intially tried the site told me that my purchase is not qualified for express upgrade. After repeated struggle with CS people (4 time online chat) the last one helped me to fix it.

    I guess if you got a similar problem itz better to cotact CS directly....... :cool:

    So how long did it take you guys to get the upgrade? If anyone has it yet?

    What version do they ship if you have XP MCE anyway? It's the vista equivalent of media center edition right?
