"Microsoft says in Windows 7 Upgrade Option

If you bought a qualifying PC The upgrade fulfillment method may
vary by PC manufacturer. When you buy
a qualifying PC from a PC manufacturer
that has chosen to participate in the
Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program,
you'll generally need to fill in a
form and follow a few steps to order
your upgrade copy of Windows 7. Look
for a form with redemption details in
the packaging that came with your PC.
If you bought a qualifying PC and
can't find out how to get the upgrade,
please check on the PC manufacturer's
web site.

Go therefore to Dell Windows® 7 Option Upgrade Website and follow the wizard steps, and you might find out if you're eligible for a free upgrade.
Edit 1
If you're not eligible for free upgrade you may buy your upgrade from Dell online here, but not very cheap at $199.99. It seems at the moment cheaper to buy the upgrade directly from Microsoft Store, where it's billed as a promotion.
Edit 2
The Windows 7 free Upgrade Option program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010."
