Hmmm, it's a Dell's left hand doesn't know what Microsoft's right hand
is doing scenario.

My credit card available balance has been reduced (ringfenced) by the
amount of the shipping fees for this "free" DVD......but there's no
indication of when it will arrive (here in the UK, at least).

FWIW, I think it's a Microsoft fu*k up rather than Dell.

Hey ho, we'll wait for the thing to arrive......

Hi,

It's difficult to know why the long waits, but I don't think there should
be any wait, for anyone, once Win7 shipped on October 22, if the eligible
Dell buyer registered correctly. Sounds like once John registered, his
Win7 upgrade was put in the shipping que.

For what it's worth, my experience is this...I have two Dell machines I
purchased with Vista before Win7 was even on the horizon, so I wasn't
eligible for the Win7 upgrade. When the reduced price upgrade was
announced, I purchased two from Amazon.com. They were shipped on October
23, and arrived on the 24th. I just haven't had time to install them.
Maybe this weekend.

Hope you get yours soon.
