Yeah I got XP MCE w/Vista Upgrade coupon to Home Premium. I have a question though...on the coupon since it is OEM it seems Microsoft thinks I'm an end user that bought it from another company. It says I need proof I bought a system myself, but it is a DYI build. Should I still try even w/o proof, or maybe mail reciepts for all my components?

Mine's already arrived, in 6 days! They said 3 weeks and it came in less than 1. I guess its all chance with MS. :wink:
