755934 2009-03-12 23:55:00 Hi there,

I like many others out there have a laptop with the infuriating Vista for my OS .

I have heard on the net that MS will be offering a free upgrade to Windows7 for customers . All I've heard on the net is just chatter and speculation . Does anyone know if this is confirmed and if so where do we go to get this upgrade???

I've only just purchased the laptop a couple months ago so should be well within the time frame .

Any help is appreciated .

755935 2009-03-13 00:18:00 It is true - But theres a few catches -
The pc / laptop must be purchased after 1st july 2009
And not every version will allow the upgrade.

The only Windows Vista® versions eligible for the program are :
Windows Vista® Home Premium
Windows Vista® Business
Windows Vista® Ultimate

here is the current (www.techarp.com) requirements.

Bit more in plain english (www.neowin.net)

SO if you already have purchased the Laptop, since its only March - then looks like its no go for the free upgrade.

755938 2009-03-13 01:56:00 Does anyone know if W7 will be offered free to uni students? Is Vista offered Free ??

I would assume there is no difference in the requirements - meaning if other current OS's are offered, cant see any reason why W7 wont be as well .
