Windows 7 Delayed Ship - Intentional?

I blogged back in June, I think it was, that I had participated in a special pre-order opportunity to buy Windows 7 for $49.99. I expected the DVD to be in today's mail, or even yesterday's. First availability was yesterday.

But, at 5:30 PM today I received an e-mail from Amazon informing me that my order had shipped and is expected to arrive at my home on October 28! Now that is what I call a poorly-planned marketing effort. I was actually anxiously awaiting its arrival. Now I get to wait another week.
