Mandar_Studio1450,
Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
DGM is not an actual shipper. It is an acronym for many shippers. This is dependent on your region of the World you live. In India it could be DHL. You can track your shipping by clicking on the link in the email you received and then add your tracking number to the site that comes up from the link.

Sure man, will keep you posted. Read somewhere that DGM4 might be based in Singapore.
P.S. Even I am unsure about the shipping charges et al.

whats the difference between dgm and dgm4,my shipper name is dgm
as we are located from same city i guess it shud be the same shipper
This may be what the DGM stands for here http://dgmindia.in/services.html the 4 maybe the package type.

Dear All,
As per my observations, almost 70% of this forum participants have received their upgrade kits within about 2-3 days of posting their correspondences. First flight courier is an efficient enterprise, so people looking to trace their kits using the airway bill no. obtained from Avon Solutions & Logistics, Chennai by providing their tracking nos posted on their dell win7 profiles, will be getting the kits delivered at their doorsteps. Also, as soon as your status changes from DGM to DGM4, consider your kit has reached your city and its only a few miles away from home. The following are the contents of the upgrade kit:
-> Dell Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant (01 DVD)
-> Dell Windows 7 Operating System (01 DVD)
-> Customs clearance sheet ( Net Amount to be paid: $0.00) [This implies that no amount has to be paid even at the time of receiving the package]
-> Microsoft Certificate Of Authenticity (COA) containing Windows 7 Activation Key (25 characters)
-> Dell Instruction Manual (to be read before inserting any DVD provided with the package)
Note: The COA is a sticker, which can be tagged either at the back/battery Slot of your laptop, or on the cabinet of your desktop, basically wherever your Win Vista COA has been placed.
The installation time is approximately 1.75-2 hrs., majority of which will be taken up to temporarily remove you vital softwares, which will later on be updated after Windows has been installed. To install these softwares you will be needing to insert the Dell Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant DVD after installing Windows. The really surprising fact is an OS of 16 GB, takes lesser time to be installed than Windows XP!. Great engineering.
According to my usage experience, I would say Windows 7 is approximately 3-4 times faster than Windows Vista in terms of boot time, application processing speed, visual layout, Windows Themes and network interface.
Cheers.
This is my last post. I would like to extend my whole-hearted gratitude to the participants of this forum for being patient and updating us with the latest.
