Hiccups in Dell's Windows 7 upgrade program

Dell has been back in the retail game for two years now, but there are still a few kinks being ironed out.

Some Dell customers are reporting serious confusion over the process of registering a new PC and signing up for the free Windows 7 upgrade. Dell's earlier announced policy is that PCs purchased after June 29, 2009 will be granted a free update when Microsoft's newest operating system arrives in October.

But since that date, some reported that when they go to register their new PC (purchased after June 29) from third-party retailers like Best Buy and MicroCenter, the date of purchase appears much earlier than the day the customer made the purchase. Instead, the date that appears in many cases is the day that Dell sold the computer to the retailer, sometimes weeks--or months--earlier.
