Microsoft Marketplace - When will 7 Ship

[zone23]

I've gotten an email to confirm my billing info from Microsoft Marketplace. I can't help but wonder if they will ship my Upgrades before the 22 so I recieve them on the 22 or if they will actually ship it on the 22 so I receive it sometime around the 26. What do you guys think and I understand its all purely speculation at this time.

More than likely, they will ship on the 22nd..

Agreed. I got my confirmation e-mail yesterday and it said:

Your copy of Windows 7 will be available Oct. 22, 2009.
On Oct. 22 you will receive an e-mail with information as to how to redeem your copy of Windows 7.

Booo.... j/k but I have seen were they will ship a day early so the product is received on a particular date. I was hoping this would be the case. You all are most likely correct though. I'm considering using the wife's college email account and purchase the $29.99 version which includes a downloadable copy. I could get that on the 22nd then just use my keys when they arrive a few days latter. My only issue is I want to use the original media for the installs vs. a downloaded copy. I guess it really doesn't matter as they will both be the same.

Pre-ordered three copies From Costco. I received an email this morning that
my order has shipped UPS ground. According to there delivery map I should
receive it in four days, maybe Thursday 22nd?

I guess if i'm lucky maybe I will get an email stating the same in the next couple days. I was hoping it would ship before the 22nd.

Its looking more and more like if I want install this weekend i'm going to have to buy the student version for $29.99 (with the digital download) then sell one of my copies to my butty for the $49.99 +shipping. Which is actually a better deal for me anyway.

My order now says "Processing" I don't think it said that before.

My order from Microsoft also says Processing....
But the order Confirmation says "Windows 7 will be available starting Oct 22, 2009".

So I guess I will have wait...

I talked to the Microsoft store this morning they said 7 will not ship until the 22nd. They made a point to bring up that I got a great deal on the software and its worth a few extra days wait. I have to agree @ $49.99 a copy that is a great price.
