HAs anyone gone through the process yet of claiming a free vista upgrade?? Is it really as difficult as I am finding?

I got mine in October I think.
On it, it says Windows XP, Windows Vista Ready. Does this mean I get a freebie, if so, what do I have to do?

Ive checked the generic site and neither are listed, look on their webiste direct for info. You still have to pay postage (about £15) but its a drop in the ocean compared to the £100 it would cost from scratch.

I dont think you will get it melts I think this is a clever ploy tbh, I thought that you only got it if you got somethign that stated it had a free upgrade with it, I think it is another, HD ready and hd compatable scenario.

Not so, you get a 'free' upgrade on ANY PC or Laptop bought between October 2006 and March 2007 as long as you bought an XP based machine in that time.

how would they know when you bought the PC when you download the update? Or is there another way of getting the upgrade?
I'm not doubting you I'm just curious

I'm think the upgrades are only available if you got a coupon with a new PC, you send it off and they send you a DVD.

They post you a DVD. You don't need a coupon although some have been issued. You fill out a web form, pay the postage and then fax your receipt over and they post it out.
If it's from Microsoft why isn't it located on their site but some other company's?
It's not a good idea to run programs if you're not 100% sure about where they've come from.

It's a prank, I've just d/loaded it. But whoever was responsible left the word "gag" in the program title

Some prank programs contain spyware, adware etc, so I wouldn't run it unless I was 100% sure about it.
