    So I ordered my free upgrade disc back in August... I can not find the e-mail that had the order number in it, so I can not check the status of the order... Would it have automatically shipped on the 22nd?

    i checked mine and theres nowhere that says it shipped or anything, it just says accepted. From what i'm getting it the idea is "you'll get it when you get it"

    HP said it should arrive around "the general release date" which means anywhere from Monday after last Thursday and up to a couple of weeks depending on the area.

    Dear [name],
 
Thank you for taking advantage of the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program from HP. This email is in reference to your order number [numbers].
 
HP is getting everything prepared for the global launch of Windows 7 on Thursday, October 22, 2009.  You can expect to receive your upgrade kit between October 30 and November 9, 2009.
 
If your shipping address has changed since you originally placed your upgrade order for Windows 7, it’s important that you contact us to update your shipping details before Friday October 16, 2009.  Following this date, your address information cannot be modified, as HP will be preparing your order for shipment.  
 
Please review your street address, city and zip/postal code below for accuracy.
    Basically, don't expect it until at least 2 mondays from now.
