They haven't yet. I just checked online and nothing has been charged. I'm sure it would come any day now. I received the email saying that it shipped this morning and moduslink also says Wednesday, March 7th. Said it would take about 3 weeks. I highly doubt it will be that long. I'm sure it's to cover their ass.
FYI - They received my information on January 8th. Maybe this will let you know where you stand. Then again, this has been everything but methodical. hehe

Thanks.
Sorry, I didn't say that I was in Europe. Judging by previous replies in this thread, Moduslink US probably won't be able to help - and I don't yet feel like calling long distance to find out.
I did, however, try the European help line. Well, it turns out that their phone line is just a recorded message.
"Thanks for calling. You may be eligible for an upgrade. If you think you may qualify, or wish to apply - please check with your system manufacturer.

Nope. Absolutely no way to get through to a human. Tried several times at different times of day - no one's home.

They say 3 weeks because someone will get it 8 days later and be done called them bugging them about all this and that.
I've been thinking the same thing, The only reason I might use it is because HP is also shipping a drivers disk. Maybe that will solve SOME of the install problems.
If I may ask, What is everyone being charged for? I thought this was a free upgrade. Here's what my order stated:
"Product Details
Upgrade software Quantity Product price ex VAT Total Price Product
Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit (1) 0.00 0.00
HP Driver DVD (1) 0.00 0.00
Shipping and Handling USD 0.00
Tax and Duties USD 0.00
Total USD 0.00 "
I was never even asked for a credit card.

Only if you are a verrryyy patient sort.
It's like an adult game of hide and seek. Latest solution to a problem on a beta, is to upgrade to a retail version. Nice answer to a problem, after giving you until June to use it.BIGDADDY51

Got mine on Tuesday.
Pretty painless for me. Dell upgrade assistance CD ran, then Vista install. Some reboots occured automatically. Then it booted up Vista for the first time.
Then I wanted to throw the laptop out my window from all the UAC confirmation dialogs. I turned it off and completed my configuration.
It's working alright now.
I benefitted in that I can use the "breadcrumb" navigation through the folders, and flip3d and the new alt-tab previews.
Detrimental effect is that Windows Mail does not support Hotmail (*snicker*). I use hotmail for my 3 junk spamboxes that I register on websites with. Minor inconvenience though, it was just a faster way to get the password confirmations.
No exotic hardware so I don't have any problems with drivers and such so I've lucked out there. Just one visit to the dell support site had everything laid out for me after entering my service tag.
The OS is prettier. The startmenu and control panel are...somewhat retardified with no apparent benefit. In particular it seems that the control panel features more links via words than icons that before. Computers started with text, then GUIs, and now it's trying to go back to text apparently? It's no big deal though, it's more or less the same in classic mode. Cleaned out a lot of trash shortcuts from my startmenu.
Now the laptop functions more or less like WinXP, but looks nicer and has breadcrumbs and flip3d. It was worth the $10 bucks and 5 hours. Not that inconvenient to switch, and I do like pretty interfaces, for which I make no excuse.
In summary, switching over for me was a vaguely, marginally, positive experience.

Thanks for the reply, I guess I'll have to wait and see if the delivery person tries to hit me up for money.
Yup! That's the step before it says order is approved and then...Order Is Shipped.
You be good bud!
After I replied I went and checked mine and I'm at that step too...was beginning to feel like the unwanted step-child with all those copies heading out.
we were all lied to about this exspress upgrade i will never ever pertain to this program ever MICRO$OFT.
i wiil waite till its in the store next time and im still holding my breath.we were all lied to about this exspress upgrade i will never ever pertain to this program ever MICRO$OFT.
QTF.
This whole thing has been a disaster, if I would have known this was gonna be such a pain in the ass.I would have just bought vista straight out instead of this EXPRESS upgrade.Which has been anything bbut express.
Order Number : xxxxxxxxxx
Order Status : Order sent to Back office
Shipping Date :
Carrier : Standard
AWB# :
Mine said Sent To Back Office on my first attempt and changed to ORDER CANCELLED, from past experience it's not good news m8.
I AM ON MY SECOND ATTEMPT AT TRYING AND NOW AT pop/coa validated again
Patience isn't that bad.
A month and a half after release isn't that bad. The thing said it would ship 4 to 6 months after release, so they've not fallen through with that really (minus the issues with POP *sigh*).I bought XP Pro because I had just bought a new PC, and Vista RC1 got into a BSOD loop and I had rewritten the Vista RC2 disc so I couldn't install RC2. Strangely, I installed XP -- with all intentions of entering in my new key once it arrived, and validate then -- but I accidently validated my other key, so now both PC's are validated (and pass WGA). So now I have a key that's not even used, but can be used as proof that I have purchased them both if WGA were to ask about it.

Wow. After a month of waiting for my vista order I believe I'm begining to understand the nature of the universe. It all revolves around "MODULUS." Here is how it goes:
(1) You send in your paperwork and in about 2 weeks their status website says "COA VALIDATED; (2) in about another week or so the status changes to POP/COA VALIDATED; (3) after another week or so, of patient waiting, the status changes to "ORDER RECEIVED"; (4) within a day or so it changes to "ORDER APPROVED"; (5) about that time you see your credit card account charged $12 something; and (6) (this is where I am now) I hope to see an e-mail saying it has shipped and I should receive VISTA in a couple weeks. Oh, and in addition to taxes and death being sure things on this planet, MODULUS taking 4-6 weeks is the another sure thing. So everything is perfect. MODULUS exist to teach all of us patience.

Moduslink has had it's problems due to bad coders and just way more upgrades than M$ predicted. M$ acknowledged that in their January P+L report.
I ordered XP Pro for my wife's new business system that I built. I ordered it when I'd already installed and used Vista Beta 2 on the system. She HATES change, God bless her! I installed XP pro on the new hardware after toying with Vista B2 and now we have the real deal heading home. It may get installed, it may not...I may hold on 'till SP1 is released. I'll let her business dictate when that happens or if...she'll need time to learn the new UI nuts and bolts.

Funny how the tune has changed around here in this thread now that people are finally starting to recieve thier copies of Windows Vista.
Did we all forget how much of a pain in the ass this was?
Did we all forget how inaccurate the procedure was documented? (web site says one thing, email says another thing, coupon says another thing)
Did we al forget how it took people for some odd reason several tries to get their POP completed?
Did we all forget that the web site sucked real bad and it would lock you out when you were trying to fill your info in?
---I didn't forget it. I know for myself, I will shy away from any program that has Muduslink attatched to it in any way shape or form.

I agree 100%.
Am i right in saying that there is a difference in ORDER RECEIVED and ORDER APPROVED.
Because i had the first time ORDER RECEIVED after following SENT TO BACK OFFICE, and was duly followed by ORDER CANCELLED.
ORDER APPROVED is the one we want to see, the last step before Shipping.
It is better to be approved then it is to be received

Approved is better. Recieved means it's in house but they haven't validated it. Approved means that (in the normal world at least) your order is close to shipping.
Approved: [SIZE=-1]generally or especially officially judged acceptable or satisfactory (COA/POP validated); "an approved method"; "work on the approved project went ahead on schedule" [/SIZE]

You might be right, in your terminology
but my order has been approved for a week and still hasnt shipped.Moduslink willl not answer emails anymore.They have know idea of whats going on in the shipping dept.
I have haad to call them several times, the only info they will give me is order approved.This is a pain in the ass .
those guys talking about patience, lets see how patient you are when they havent shippped your order in a couple more weeks.
I wish i had never went this route. I could be dual booting right now had i just bought vista straight out.

Dont I know it. I wonder where these are being shipped from? Cal to here is usually only 3 days and they say 3 weeks? by MEXP whoever that is. Trouble is, I still have 1 more copy to order
