    Things are looking up. Had phone call from an Indian sounding man this morning saying my card was declined. Seems in the panic yesterday I put in the wroing details.

    Fingers crossed PDF comes soon ....

    Thanks again MikeT , certainly hope you get yours. Maybe for some reason they are dealing with the backlog backwards ?! iukwim

    That doesn't seem to be an uncommon occurrence Mikeboy, a number of people have had a similar thing with Dell.

    I myself got a phone call during the week about something else I had ordered from Dell using my switchcard. I KNOW I input the correct details as I am anal about checking the numbers etc when I'm buying online, so I don't know why it didn't go through. Just gave my cc details over the phone instead, which was fine but I still haven't had any kind of email from them.

    Got a call from WW to say delivery would be next week, so order has obviously been processed.

    windows xp home edition - although it doesn't state if there are any discs or just a recovery cd/partition

    You get XP Home SP2 already installed, plus a Windows XP CD, which will allow you to reinstall from scratch if you wanted to. You also get the disks for the other software like Works, PowerDVD, drivers etc.

    biglugs - do you know if it also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) for Windows XP?

    there is no windows XP disk included in the deal, just a recovery partition with the operation system on. The COA is just a licence sticker on the side of the base unit, but it is properly licenced :)
