Messy Vista Express upgrades get back on track
Overcoming early problems, the majority of users who requested a free upgrade to Windows Vista through Microsoft's Vista Express Upgrade should have received their software by now.
Dell on Thursday said that it had fulfilled 80 per cent of the update requests. A spokesperson for Moduslink told vnunet.com that it had shipped Vista DVDs to the "major majority" of the people who filed a request. Moduslink handles the upgrades for a series of computer makers including Acer, HP and Lenovo.
The Vista Express upgrade programme offers a free or discounted upgrade to people who purchased a new computer after 26 October. The upgrade promotion was designed to prevent a lull in new system sales as consumers and businesses awaited the launch of Vista. Order had to be filed no later than 15 March.
