Of course you can as long as your proof of purchase (i.e. receipt) shows your date of purchase is 21/08. The manufacture date has nothing to do with the OS upgrade.

yes sure u can upgrade
for some manufacturers there is a tab at the upgrade registration website for u to manually key in the purchase date
not sure whether acer has it but try it out
website for registration is at the first post

Selected model only, you can check online at Microsoft Malaysia, there are links to HP, Acer, Asus, etc. as well. But as far as I know, most if not all models comes with pre-installed Home Premium, Business, and Ultimate can get free upgrade. Check properly first before you make purchase if you haven't.

"Payment pending" for your lappy or win7? I thought you only get charged when your win7 upgrade is available to be shipped out by Microsoft.

Payment pending for Window 7...

"Get charge after Win 7 available to be shipped out" mean they will only charge me from Oct 22 onwards?

Microsoft will only ship out the upgrade DVD when Win7 is officially luanched, and they'll only charge on you when they ship. They are not suppose to take your money first and wait for the launching because if any hiccups they have to refund. But remember, I don't think they will ship out all upgrade disc on 22/10. The actual shipment date remains unknown.

What I have in my mind is quite different. Redmond will sent the upgrade disc to local Microsoft office in each country, and on 22/10/2009, it'll be sent through courier. But that's my idea

Probably it'll just remain an idea.

actually all models with an OEM Vista pre-installed will be eligible for the upgrade
it's just some latest models carry the sticker that says it's automatically eligible and some don't

and it's not totally free btw
u'll still need to pay a nominal shipping fees
