Windows 7 upgrade disks from Dell

[KLOVER]

I still have no "status" for my Win 7 order but I just logged in and noticed that I now have an estimated ship date of November 1.
So, either that's just a placeholder or things are actually moving behind the scenes.

***EDIT***
Wow, it just showed up about 2 minutes after I posted. It was sent by UPS.

Package contains a printout of my original order (Oct 22) and 2 discs: Windows 7 Upgrade Option (Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium)and Dell Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant DVD 64-bit

Disc has a Product Key/COA sticker on the package.

Awesome! Mind sharing a quick pic please.

Is it some box pack? Did you also receive a Windows 7 label (sticker badge)?

OH MY GOD! Right after I posted the above message, I logged into win7 site and noticed Estimated Ship Date 10/28/2009, that is TODAY.

Can't wait DAMNN

I got mine right after school today. Same thing; 2 DVDs and a quick "how to upgrade" guide.

Question: I'm assuming you can do a clean install with the Windows 7 DVD? I tried it in a virtual machine, and everything worked, but I didn't actually click "Install Now". Don't want to over write Ubuntu.

And I read somewhere that you have to upgrade your bios (something about Windows 7 having a new software licensing control thing...for OEM only)?

And I really like that they send us the Drivers and the Windows 7 compatible apps.

My estimated ship date is October 27. According to the dates/timeline KLOVER posted, I should have gotten the upgrade DVDs 6 days ago

I'll drop a pic when I get home (at work right now). No box, just a plastic bag with the Win 7 disc (standard Dell OEM look) and the Upgrade Assistant (which Dell says you have to insert first...).

No sticker badge but I never expected one.

Mine is saying Estimated Delivery Date: 15/11/2009

I hope it will be earlier...

yep BIOS needs to be upgraded to A07 version before attempting to install win7.

Does the Upgrade Assistant include the Bios or will I have to do it manually?

Mine shipped!
