Dell Vista web FAQ says 4 to 8 weeks after launch they would ship.

Sorry to be a noob here guys, but I just bought a Dell Inspiron E1405 this week, and also received the Dell Express Upgrade To Vista....I went through the site, and saw that it needed a Credit Card Number?

I thought this was a "free upgrade" ? Or are we just buying Vista through Dell? I just wanted to make sure what I was doing before entering all my info, thanks! =)

The reason you need a credit card number is that they charge you $10 for shipping.

Thanks for the quick reply! Final question...I think I read on here that someone was confused about if using the upgrade to Vista it invalidates the CD Key for XP? Is that true? I want to make sure that if I load up Vista, and want to format and go back to XP that I can. Thanks! =)

Using the vista upgrade doesn't invalidate your XP key.
