    How did the upgrade process go from the RC to the retail?
    I believe you have to do a clean install.....

    yeah mine was PC World as well.. i'd had a mail saying it would be dispatched 22nd and 3 to 5 days for delivery so maybe the profanities I uttered in PC Worlds direction had an effect..
    Fresh install here for me as I tried upgrading when i first installed the release candidate and it was not that successful (from Vista)
    I used windows-easy-transfer to migrate all the files and account information via the external drive and it was sweet really..
    Also, as I have a core 2 duo processor, I am using the 64 bit version..
    No probs so far..

    Looks like they are being shipped early due to the postal strike.

    Some have already received their copies of Windows 7, as Microsoft allows retailers to ship early to avoid the postal strike.
    By Stuart Turton, 20 Oct 2009 at 10:38

    Microsoft has confirmed that it's allowed UK retailers to start shipping copies of Windows 7 early, as the postal strike threatens to derail the operating system's launch.

    Reports are flooding in from PC World customers who've received their copies of Windows 7 days ahead of official launch.

    The retailer claimed the action is intended to avoid the fallout from Royal Mail's planned 48-hour strike on 22 October - the same day as Windows 7's high-profile coming-out party.

    "Given the threat of Royal Mail strike action, we have consulted with Microsoft and authorised the early release of a first batch of Windows 7," said a PC World spokesperson.

    Though we've only heard from PC World customers thus far, Microsoft says the measures affect the UK's biggest retailers.

    "Microsoft is aware of the planned postal strike and has taken action to minimise impact on those customers who pre-ordered their copies of Windows 7," the company said in a statement. "As a result, some customers may receive their copy of Windows 7 a day or two early."

    Amazon has not confirmed whether it will be shipping Windows 7 early, but claimed it's taking steps to ensure customers receive their copies on time. "We will be doing everything we can to ensure that Amazon customer orders are not disrupted including routing orders through our other carrier partners," said the company.

    got mine today, up and running - just trying to sort out the display - it's hurting my eyes

    edit: finally sorted out an ATI driver for the express 1150.
