I think people are missing the point...they actually DID something that shows they care about their customers
I think that's true - it's easy to take a punt at MS but they do get a lot of things right thesedays!
I'm certainly grateful for my free party pack

Argos haven't shipped out yet. Order status suggests they will be contacting me by Tuesday 20th to arrange a delivery date and time. Nothing yet.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of penalty towards PC World for this early delivery. I'm sure retailers have a strict contract with Microsoft not to release Windows 7 before 22nd. See how that pans out for them.
Microsoft gave the go ahead... Do you really think they would ship without consent, with the financial backing and history that MS has?...I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of penalty towards PC World for this early delivery.

Ok so it's not an easy mistake to make...
"Accidentally shipping thousands of copies of a new MS OS, 2 days before official release date."
Yes I now see MS gave the go ahead to beat the postal strikes.
Royal mail strike = good times!
Grrrrr.
Nothing from Amazon. "Will ship soon."
No emails from MS on the upgrade license either...
Grrrrrrr.
Society's to blame,
Or possibly Atari.
Hi Phage - Have they taken payment yet?
It's almost like MS has a heart

Got an email last night from Amazon saying it had been sent out, including a City Link tracking number which shows it should be delivered today
Mine is an online download verison, won't be released for download until tomorrow, but tonight I will be doing prep work like copying files of my primary drive so that it can be formated, not to mention a 3 hour long stress test due to a change in OC settings. (I reduced the OC from 3.8 to 3.6 so that I could reduce the fan speeds, thus making the machine run quieter).
Thursday night will be spent installing Windows 7 and all my programs. Like I said, fun night.

I haven't checked. Always a bit leery of doing that from a work machine.
(I had to grovel to get IE7 and I'm not supposed to have kept it)

i just got mine from argos, £49.99 version, however due to a new pc its no longer needed. happy to sell at cost if anyone missed out on the cheaper pre-order offer.
Mine's just been delivered
Update: Dispatched today from Amazon via DHL.
(The bad news is that DHL tracking seems to be down ATM)
