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.

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.

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.

as long as the card holder agrees, why not?

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.

Added on October 30, 2009, 10:57 pmIf you are saying to use a full retail windows 7 to upgrade your existing windows vista, yes you can do it but why would you? Upgrade pack is much cheaper than the full retail pack... unless you get sponsor.

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.

Technically you can, legally/ethically you can't.

At least they aren't sending by snail mail with a white envelope like my Alliance Bank Credit Card.

Now you know the difference between Queen's Kingdom and Bolehland

My wife has upgraded her 4736G. No problem at all, there is a driver/software/application upgrade disk comes with the upgrade kit and will upgrade the Acer pre-installed software and driver.

Well lots of shops are selling OEM Windows
Anyway, selling the upgrade kit is not such a good idea, well anyone who has a OEM/Full XP/Vista license can use the upgrade disk but everyone knew that you got the upgrade disk for FREE. So you think how much people are willing to pay for it?

I thought TS wants to sell his upgrade kit, not his old OEM Vista license. The upgrade kit is not bound by the previous XP/Vista license as long as they are full/OEM license.

Well your laptop model is not in the list, which means out of luck friend. I can't even find the model at Asus website. If the seller actually said this model is entitled for the free upgrade you are conned. If that seller is official Asus reseller than you can lodge a complaint on him.
You can, however, buy the upgrade version.

Technically the upgrade disk will work in other computer, but of course it is considered illegal. And I've said that everybody knows that the upgrade kit is free, so why would they pay for something free? If want the OS free and illegal way, we have a good supplier called INTERNET.
And if my didn't make myself clear enough, I DO NOT encourage people selling the free upgrade kit. I simply point out a fact that the upgrade disk will work on other computer.

This idea is like: I bought a Computer A with Vista pre-installed, I get the free upgrade kit and upgrade it to Win7; later I sell the Computer A, but before selling that I revert it back to Vista; after that I purchase Computer B with Vista pre-installed too and I use the upgrade kit to upgrade it to Win7. Any wrong with that?

By the way, can I dual boot with Vista and 7 if using the upgrade kit?

The upgrade kit itself is free. People were charged for handling and shipping fee, and some company like HP and Dell absorb the fee for their customer.

Acer user have to pay USD18.70

Nope, can't change if your Vista is 32bit one. But if somehow you manage to get a 64bit installation disk, your upgrade disk product key will be working just fine.

Holy cr@p, you haven't got yours... that's like 2 weeks liao. Well, maybe because it's totally free then they change to another cheaper courier service and then have to re-run the thing.
