Actually, it does not sound like Microsoft pulled the Dell CD. At the start of this thread it sounded more like it was suggested to the tech and he just "took that" as his way out of the conversation. Microsoft is pretty clear about saying that the PPC OS is the responsibility of the OEM, not them. So if the CD was pulled, it would have been pulled by Dell, not M$

On the other hand, myself and a friend of mine got ours right away. We had the notice Friday emailed and had the CD via DHL first thing yesterday.

Both of us have installed, and all is fine on our X50v units. While some programs are not yet compatible [the developers are wayyyy behind in some cases], and I can't give a thumbs up or down, there are some definite pluses in going from SE to 5.0

But, point is, no horror stories here. All upgraded fine.
