Well I did receive my free upgrade finally in march trouble is they sent the wrong one right off my serice tag I got office and tried to install it and guess what, it wasnt compatable. That was three days and hours on hold getttin my hard drive back after it messed up my system. Called Dell and was assured they would send Home Premium to me ASAP! Here it is July and nothing yet. I see Im not alone in this. My advice is to never do business with Dell again!!&lt;/P&gt;
