Re: Dell's free upgrade to Win7 for recent computer purchases

I signed up for the free windows 7 upgrade on about the 20th of October for
a system that I purchased about 3 weeks ago. I got a confirmation that I
was eligible, but the tracking/shipping information still states that it has
not been sent. Tried emailing them, but have received no response. Good
luck, and keep us informed.

Given the way these promotions were handled when Vista was supposed to
be the news, I'd say that they are presently overwhelmed and
understaffed.

Agreed...and there's bound to be more people looking for Win 7 than were
looking for Vista. Win 7 has gotten overwhelmingly positive reviews.

BTW, I'll repeat my advice anywhere this comes up. Don't do an upgrade. The
clean install takes less than 20 minutes.
