lol.......well you have to remember, the patch isn't the same thing as the upgrade CD at all. for one thing they don't have to redesign their whole version of the OS in the patch, and they also don't have to then scrap the batch of CDs they already ordered and order a whole new batch of like 20,000 upgrade CDs to be burned by whoever the heck burns them, then shipped to Dell by whoever the heck ships them. all of that could conceivably add a couple weeks or more onto the date that your CD will actually ship.
that said, I really really want to believe the bargain pda article and that B300 guy, but how the heck did he wind up in a conference call anyway? i thought they only have open conference calls when they announce earnings reports, and as far as i know, dell definitely didn't release its 2Q earnings today.
if the conference call was real....it's reassuring to know that this issue got to the top.
