    Lenovo EPP hasn't updated their X60s series to have Vista preinstalled, so I called Lenovo and the represenative said it should take about 3-4 weeks. However, you still get the Vista upgrade coupon even though Vista has been officially released.

    I'm just wondering if any of you received your Vista disc from Lenovo through the coupon offer yet.

    The upgrade doesn't come from Lenovo, but from ModusLink. ModusLink partnered with Microsoft to distribute the upgrade to consumers. I have put in for my upgrade, but the estimates say they will not ship until about 6-8 weeks after Vista was released to consumers. By my calculations that will be mid-March or so. The site is not very good and I'm not even sure if my orders were 100% successful, but I called their help line and they reassured me everything was all set.

    Basically, nobody will know how it goes until someone gets their copy. At this point we probably have a while to wait.
