>By those calculations, Tuesday August 7 will be the end of the 6th week. I did find 3 sites listing the upgrade but none were actually taking orders yet. In effect, all said "Real Soon Now...."

I have a copy ordered through Amazon. I beleive Provantage (www.provantage.com) and PCMall (www.pcmall.com) are taking orders.

I too share your frustration.
