"I just hope they don't start shipping Upgrades on 9/17 (the current rumor) if they haven't finished shipping the patches..." [...] "Of course it wouldn't affect me...it's the principle of the thing..."
I'm not sure how that's principled. Technically, we 2002 users have been waiting just as long for a working 2003 update and we're all stuck at a slower speed and are missing utilities. Many of us ordered the upgrade and have had to deal with Dell cancelling our orders and generally screwing around too.
I could sort of see your point if Dell was diverting resources from the relatively small number of people who bought Axims between June 23 and July 27, but you actually agree that it wouldn't affect you (or anyone else who is in your situation)... and Dell clearly has started shipping CDs to those users... and any delays are most likely procedure or delivery issues. So holding up the rest of us is really sort of pointless. It won't speed up your getting the CD.
The only reason I can think of to hope that they don't ship in such a case is spite - and that's not my idea of principles.
Personally, I hope they get all the CDs to everyone as fast as possible no matter which reason you have for the upgrade.
