The email was received at about 6:15pm on Wednesday for a 6:40pm Friday departure so it's a bit over T-48. Availability is currently showing F4 P4 A0, though I didn't check it prior to receiving my upgrade as I wasn't really expecting to get one.
Luckily I'll have a nice, FC seat, in which to ponder my bewilderment...
Someone answered the window part for you, but figured I'd let you know, upgrades have nothing to do with F/P/A... that is relative to seats for sale and doesn't correlate with upgrade availability. Upgrades come out of X or V.

For it to clear there has to be X/V availability, if there is none, you will have to clear at the gate, regardless of amount of open first class seats showing. Also if GM as your profile states you would have cleared 4 days out if there had been X/V inventory.
