    Yes, I actually believe that may be why Dell no longer uses their own bioses in the new models, lack of a method of not updating slic with the bios update... anyone say with an Inspiron 1545 cqn update their bios with an official update and recieve slic 2.1. As you have already stated, HP bioses work differently..

    Not necessarily.

    We just got a Dell Studio 17 laptop shortly before Windows 7 launched and there was an updated bios on Dell's website that added SLIC 2.1 so no mod or loader from here was necessary. Just the cert and key plus Dell's own BIOS.

    And yes the original BIOS on the machine was SLIC 2.0.

    i got windows 7 home premium upgrade kit from dell and it comes in 2 dvd"s. dvd #1 contains the upgrade assistant with apps and drivers and dvd #2 is the windows 7 dvd upgrade program itself. The win 7 dvd has microsoft sticker with COA key.You just have to use the key and have the win 7 be activated online

    There is not even ONE BIOS on the disk
    It comes with 2.45 Gb of drivers, 1.37 Gb of Apps

    a single Win7_Upgrade.exe & the ini file that drives it

    Also the install DVD of Win 7 (Upgrade Option from Vista Business to 7 Professional)
    is RTM OEM disk with NO SLP key (the COA is on the DVD cover & it is NOSLP OEM key)
