Well,I just ordered myself Windows 7 upgrade for my vaio laptop ,through Vaio Windows 7 upgrade .

Sony charged me a total of $15 (for windows )+ $25 for shipping (later came to know they will ship via DHL .hmm ) .



just wondering ,what do you guys think ?.I feel its a kind of rip off .

I know few manuafacturers
like Acer is actually giving free upgrade to customers living in US .

see below



Note :Those who jump in here,and only have to say piracy is the way go,then sorry .I don't play cat and mouse game with operating system .

well 15$ iz cheap but 25 $ for shipping will make ppl nervous ...

welll i just did a serarch and found this :

http://store.microsoft.com/microsoft/Windows-7-Professional-Upgrade/product/8BB1A4B4

any ways in cast u a total of 40$ .. check the official price 119$ and stusents can get in for 30$ ..

* i think ur sony vaio comes in "$14.99 category " *

about being ripped of , if ur are feeling it that way , than sir u truly have been ripped of ;) . i think it was a good purchase and that u should have considered 25$ for shipping from the start .. its 25$ that is making u feel like being ripped off ..

Its worth it. Shipping being more than the upgrade you paid for is definitely a rip off. But you're still getting the original thing cheaper than most people.

Everything looks good. Congrats. :)

hehe ,yup Its werid that manufactures aren't even charing a cent in US ,but they charge for the people living ouside US .DHL is having a nice time ,as these manufacturer choose DHL to ship their produces .MS started all this by saying free upgrade to Windows ,which isn't free .

They could have shipped via some normal tracking post lol

I have also bought a Sony Vaio VGN-NW11S last month, I don't have to pay a penny for the windows 7 upgrade, all I need to do is take a receipt to a local store and will get a free copy of the windows 7 home premium for free :p or you can register your vaio at the sony site and can download a copy (but I am not sure about it).. Windows 7 will arrive here in UK on October 22.

You can download it as well, but I am not sure about a laptop which has been bought from pakistan.

Is this free upgrade for all laptops or the ones which were just recently bought ?
As in, how do you if ur eligible for this upgrade ?

The one which has been recently bought and display = eligible for free Windows 7 upgrade at the time of buying...

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
