I was about to ask the same question. I haven't and it has been 6 weeks.
Still shows pending. I emailed the support email last night, so I'll see if
I get a response.

Personally I'd love to hear how an upgrade turns out on an existing XP
system. Vista is not even compatible with most softwares yet let alone
trying an upgrade.

Ho hum......... ;0)

I don't know who is doing Dell's fulfillment, but it seems similar.

What's surprising is that Vista is WAY below expectations, so they should
not only have been prepared, they should be ahead of schedule.

But we ARE talking Microsoft here.

Leading to a joke I just read:


There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed
his desire to become a great writer.

When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write
stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people
will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will
make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"

He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.

Most is way too strong a word. There are, I am sure, incompatible programs,
but that just means that the vendor is an idiot. Developer betas have been
available for YEARS

Yes I agree, I suppose most is a strong word........But I can still only
imagine a fully loaded software system will respond......NO thanks, I'll
stick to my Win2K Pro still......... ;0)

My experience with the betas was pretty positive. Even with debugging code I
thought the performance was pretty good.

Droll! Thanks Tom... Ben

don't be in a big hurry to get vista and when you do make sure you save your
drivers for xp somewhere. I used Vista and it is not to bad but I am back
using xp. My spin on Vista for hardware is
a Pentium 4 3 gig or better, 256 meg video card and 1 gig or better of ram.
It will run on less but get the full experience you need a high end machine.
Core 2 works great.
