| 1115136 | 2010-07-01 22:27:00 | A mate bought a new PC a while ago from Noel Leeming and it came with a $40 or so update option from Vista to Win7. However, he didn’t exercise that option at the time and has lived to regret it. So the question is: Is he still able to take up the offer, or was there an expiry date on the offer? :thanks |

| 1115138 | 2010-07-01 22:41:00 | According to the Microsoft site (windows7upgradeoption.com) it expired on 28 February, 2010. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1115139 | 2010-07-01 23:35:00 | Thanks, that will please him. :( | B.M. (505) | ||
| 1115140 | 2010-07-02 03:09:00 | Win 7 is just a new theme on top of Vista and had loads of marketing to make the masses think it's magically better. Vista SP2 is very stable and fast. I have no idea why so many people moan about it, I think they're just misinformed due to the media harping on about some issues in the early days of Vista that got resolved with SP1. | Orca (3098) | ||

Not quite true... |

They are different. |

| 1115144 | 2010-07-02 07:17:00 | Well both have 1 thing in common. UAC. Its just as bad in Win7. So, I found out. It doesnt matter what you put it on. It can cause access denied errors. One reason why I killed it on both. I found nothing wrong with Vista x64. It was pretty smooth. Too bad this tuner doesnt work in Vista's media centre. Otherwise, I'll still be using it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
