How big is your company? Are they on a Volume Licencing program?

If they are, you can get Vista Upgrade Licences from the middle of November, but you can only get the media from December the 1st.

I don't know how much of this will be true in the UK, but for the larger PC/Notebook manufactures (Dell/HP etc) I would imagine something similar to be true.

So basically, from Oct 26th some new Laptops/Computers will ship with XP <whatever> and a token to upgrade for free or ~half price to the equivalent version of Vista.

IIRC if you buy a system with XP Home, or MCE the voucher would be towards Vista Home or Home Premium.

Sorry I misread that, I thought you had a company lappy.

As for when OEMs will sell Vista? I think it's about April time.
