QUOTE(sordanny @ Aug 20 2009, 04:20 PM) well the more economical way is to get yourself a copy of genuine Vista now and upgrade to Windows 7 later on and chances are you won't need Professional because there's no point to switch back to Vista??? I'll recommend Windows 7 Ultimate for the XP virtualisation instead of Professional just my 2 cents  Windows XP Mode (and Windows Virtual PC) is available for Windows 7 Ultimate, Enterprise and Professional. So there's no need to shell out extra money to buy the more expensive Windows 7 Ultimate. |

QUOTE(sordanny @ Aug 20 2009, 10:20 PM) hmm if u're talking about Vista Business OEM then ask the retailer first before buying I think the upgrade should be registered at the Windows 7 website but there are some batches of serial number that are produced before the qualifying date for upgrade Microsoft could have barred it from getting the upgrade regardless of the date of purchase I suggest the best way is to confirm with Microsoft first better safe than sorry That's true, so to be safe, if you're going to get free Windows 7 upgrade, get it with OEM laptop/desktop as a package. |

QUOTE(sordanny @ Aug 21 2009, 01:20 PM) I have just read from the official Windows 7 site that you are still required to show your proof of purchase eventhough the product code is valid. So there might be a chance that the upgrade is available for product codes released before June 29. But pls check with Microsoft Malaysia just to be sure No you won't. You're required to show the proof of purchase because Microsoft will need to verify that you bought Windows Vista on or after June 29 (or whatever the date is). If not, why would they want a proof of purchase at all? |

QUOTE(TitaniumZ @ Aug 26 2009, 02:44 PM) 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. |

QUOTE(sordanny @ Aug 31 2009, 11:11 AM) actually all models with an OEM Vista pre-installed 26th June 2009 and afterward 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 Corrected This post has been edited by FarCry3r: Aug 31 2009, 06:41 PM |

QUOTE(sordanny @ Oct 26 2009, 12:40 AM) About the Dell situation, anyone kind enough to update how to order shipping & whether shipping is charged/FOC I can confirm that the Windows 7 upgrade kit is FOC. You just need to login to your account, fill the info regarding your tag etc, and just checkout and print the confirmation order. Yay! Save me RM60+ 
Added on October 27, 2009, 7:12 amQUOTE(Xehanort @ Oct 26 2009, 07:49 PM) so means every upgrade kits of all brand comes with both 32 bit & 64 bit?? If you saw his post, it's Windows 7 retail, not OEM, that's why it have both 32-bit and 64-bit disc. Even when I order my upgrade disc from Dell, it only give me 64-bit Windows 7 Upgrade.

QUOTE(Xehanort @ Oct 27 2009, 09:56 AM) thanks for ur info mine is 32bit it is a bit strange, in dell support site, they dun state win7 32bit under OS option [attachmentid=1273853] Perhaps a bug? Or Dell want to push users to 64-bit? I don't know. Better ask Dell yourself. |

QUOTE(TitaniumZ @ Oct 30 2009, 08:23 AM) Normally courier service will do delivery on Saturday because they don't want to maintain extra storage. Anyway, my wife got her upgrade disk yesterday from Acer, distributed by Acer Singapore, order was made in August. Well, let wait and see tomorrow. *crossing fingers* This post has been edited by FarCry3r: Oct 30 2009, 08:59 AM |

QUOTE(Dackson @ Nov 1 2009, 02:22 PM) yup .... wadnering why dont hv OEM disc ?? Hmm .. Hp didnt provide OEM disc de >.< hehe .. then the disc can be use din my other pC ??  Edited the mispelled word. I hate OEM discs provided with OEM like Dell/HP/Compaq/Acer/Sony/Lenovo etc. But with the standalone OEM version you buy on computer shop, it looks better, with holographic stuff etc. That way you feel more like owning an original stuff. |

QUOTE(TitaniumZ @ Nov 1 2009, 03:00 PM) Those upgrade kit from OEM comes with two DVDs, one is the Win7 itself the other is the manufacturer software upgrade + drvier for that particular manufacturer. At least Acer one is like that. My wife laptop (Acer 4736G) is done upgrade. Everythig works fine except have to manual disable the windows firewall to do windows update and download ANYTHING from Microsoft. Damn, the stupid Windows firewall blocking the windows itself problem is not solved at all. Really? I never had that problem, my Windows Firewall always turned on and I can get updates from Microsoft Updates anytime I want.

QUOTE(zombieleex @ Nov 2 2009, 02:31 PM) I should be getting my Win7 last week, as my estimated ship date is on 26/10/2009, stated at the Win7.dell.com etc. Yet, i received NTH from Dell, not even any confirmation E MAIL or ANNOUNCEMENT e mail~ Jesus, when i will get mine win7? I tried asking from a Dell chat person, and they ask me to call Dell Customer Service at 1-800-880-301. I tried to call, but it seems all operators are busy (which reminds me of Screamyx).  |
