    Ok guys im pretty confused about this upgrade. I looked on dells site and it says "If you purchased an eligible Vista Capable system on or after October 26, 2006 we anticipate you will be able to redeem your Express Upgrade to Windows Vista™ on this site beginning November 13, 2006." So since I purchased my E1505 about 2 months ago, I will not be able to get the upgrade? I also purchased an E510 Desktop about 6-7 months ago. How will I go about upgrading. Thanks and sory if this was posted already

    Basically, Dell started offering free upgrades to systems bought after a certain date. This doesn't mean that you can't upgrade it, but you will have to buy the OS yourself.
