Just wondering, anyone else have registered for the upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7?
Have you received the confirmation email and get an order number? Did you face any problems when checking your order status online?
I had some fair share of problems with the registration first off with the purchase date vs manufacturing date. That was fixed by the manufacturer by providing another tab to input purchase date. Secondly after successfully registering and getting a confirmation email, to date I have not managed to login to check order status...
I will put in some details of the upgrade for the benefit of everyone :-
Any OEM or standalone Windows Vista purchased after 26 JUNE 2009 will be entitled to register for an upgrade to Windows 7. All you need to do is register. When Windows 7 is released all that registered will be sent by post a Windows 7 upgrade kit containing a Windows 7 DVD. The upgrade is NOT FREE. You would have to pay using credit card a nominal shipping fee in USD depending on country. For shipment to Malaysia, the fee I paid was USD 18.76. If your purchase is:
Vista Home Premium - upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium
Vista Business - upgrade to Windows 7 Business
Vista Ultimate - upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate
If you have purchased your laptop or PC with OEM Windows Vista pre-installed, please check your manufacturer's website to register. See below for a list of popular manufacturers & where to register:
Dell - https://win7.dell.com/
HP - http://www.hp.com/united-states/consumer/w...rade/index.html
Acer - http://www.acer.com/windows7upgrade/
Gateway - http://www.gateway.com/windows7upgrade/index.php
Asus - http://event.asus.com/2009/windows7/
The upgrade is handled by Microsoft via Mentor Media Corp.
