I've spoken to a few people in the UK that have seen their Windows 7 pre-order DVD's arrive today That's a few days earlier than expected, but great news for those eagerly waiting
My copy arrived today. Windows Home Premium via PC World. Just done a quick backup which took all of ten minutes to burn to DVD and now have it installed and running without any problems
You may not get the download untill the release date. The only reason some people have it early is because of the planned postage strike. Users who have ordred through DGM Retail (ie: Curry's, PC World) have had their orders shiped early to avoid any delays brought by the strike. At least you only have 2 days to go and you got it 20 quid cheaper!
I have just received a email from Currys to say my ordered copy of win 7 Pro. will be shipped from their warehouse on wednesday and delivered by the Post Office and may take 5 - 7 days to arrive.

The reply I got from amazon.co.uk when I emailed them this morning.
Thank you for taking the time to write to us with your concerns about your order # xxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx for "Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium".
I wish to take this opportunity to assure you that Amazon.co.uk will be doing everything it can to ensure that customer orders are not disrupted as a result of Industrial Action at Royal Mail. This will include routing orders through our other carrier partners.
Your order is currently due to ship today, 21st October, by express delivery and should be with you tomorrow.
Busy backing up my personal data ready to wipe the hard disk for a complete install.
Ahh, I'm anxious to start the download tomorrow from the student offer.
I'm going to wait until I get a nicer hard drive until I install it though. The drive the RC is on is an 160Gb IDE, with XP on a 80Gb SATA. Better wait and get a nice new HDD for Win7 Pro.
Until, the RC should do just fine.
Amazon.ca confirmed that my Windows 7 shipped out today with a projected delivery of early next week. I've never seen such a long delivery time frame from Amazon and am hoping I get it earlier. *cross fingers*
My copy was posted yesterday (21st) according to Amazon.co.uk but since I live in France I am not sure when it will arrive. Hopefully on Saturday as my XP system died a few days ago :-(
