Dell Vista Express Upgrade
Has anyone gone to the Dell Vista Upgrade site and tried this?
We have ordered a few systems since October 26th and those systems are eligible for the Express Upgrade to Windows Vista Business. Nowhere from www.dellvistaupgrade.com does it tell you how much they are charging. Only after you have entered your credit card number, it tells you they are charging C$24 for Shipping and Handling. (That's equivalent to US$20). What are they using to ship it and how much handling is involved? I think it's totally crazy to be charging that much to ship a CD, which, according to the quote when we purchased the system, is supposed to be free but subject to shipping and handling. Any idea if they charge the same for multiple systems?

Dell Vista Express Upgrade
For Michigan, my cost is shown to be $10.60
$10 shipping and handling, and $.60 'est' for tax. Mi has a 6% sales tax. at the time I configured my purchase on Dell's web site, it clearly stated that the Free Vista upgrade would cost $10 for shipping and handling.

That's what I paid also here in PA. Does anyone know if Dell has started shipping these upgrades yet? My order status still says "pending". |

I suspect late Feb in the order received. Since the site wasn't up until late in the game, I should be pretty early. |

Dell Vista Express Upgrade
As Tom says, I wouldn't look for it till the end of Feb or early March.
Keep in mind, that it won't be 'just' the Vista upgrade disk (or so I understand), it'll be the Vista Upgrade disk as well as another Dell prepared CD that will lead you through several things including a possible BIOS upgrade, new drivers, etc for Vista. I suspect that it's that Dell CD that they are working on that has been the cause of the delay between when the Official release date was and when they'll start shipping out the Vista upgrade packages.
