Dell Offers to Upgrade PCs to Windows 7
Dell Offers to Upgrade PCs to Windows 7
Dell has a deal for those wanting to upgrade their PCs to Microsoft's new Windows 7 operating system. The company is expanding its upgrade program with the Windows 7 Free and Easy upgrade program. Through the program, Dell will install Windows 7 Premium on new Dell PCs before shipping it out to the customer. The program will be available free of charge; customers who participate will receive their new PCs with Windows 7 already installed around 22 October, Windows 7's launch date.

Re: Dell Offers to Upgrade PCs to Windows 7
And they ship the drivers too?
Do you know how are the other companies doing this "free Win7' thing? You get Vista now, and then/

Re: Dell Offers to Upgrade PCs to Windows 7
This isn't really that special. What they're doing is saying, hey, people who buy a customized computer today won't receive it until after Oct. 22, so we might as well load Windows 7 on there.
All the companies have Windows 7 ready to go, Dell is just allowing you to order Win7 machines 2 weeks early.

Re: Dell Offers to Upgrade PCs to Windows 7
Yeah not really that special. I was expecting something like Dell offering to upgrade your used computer free with Windows 7 or a non-Dell, now that would have been something. Or shipping the computer before October 22 would have been great too.. cause everyone will have Windows 7 available after October 22.

Re: Dell Offers to Upgrade PCs to Windows 7
So, my order date was 10/02/2009 and ETA is listed 10/30/2009, could it be that I will get my system with Windows 7 ?!

Dont think so. I just chatted with a Dell Sales Rep, and he told me that since they are putting Win7 in there (at least on my SXPS 1645), they shipping date was estimated for 11 nov!!! |
