I figured that as well, but that an OS installer would drive one to such lengths says much.

I installed my first windows 7 professional 32-bit today, built-in video drivers were flaky on Radeon HD 4680 PCI-e, but after downloading the proper drivers from AMD, it was fine. that all drivers were found and downloaded automatically on a white box we use as a tech machine.

Overall very impressed as of right now, I have abuse to put it through before I call it stable though.

Keep us updated Alex and Astro...

I saw reviews of it on TV and I love the whole menu/multiple window flipping...although its a straight copy off of the XBox 360 LIVE menu system...but nonetheless, something new I can play around with.....

I just bought a new HP desktop a few weeks ago, and any computer that has been bought in the last like 7 months I think qualifies for a free Windows 7 upgrade ... I'm just waiting for ours to come in the mail. I will be SO excited to drop Vista ... the POS....

I was a die hard XP user, refused to have a vista machine. After my 5+ year old custom built gaming rig died on me, I was glad to find the MSI Wind that I did was still shipping with XP. Took advantage of the student copy of 7 " thanks OP" and have to say Im completely in love with 7. For $29 its a steal but if I had to pay full price I would still be on XP as we speak.

I am really happy to hear that ... Vista is such a fail :/ I LOVED it at first ... then the problems started ... with just about everything. The most annoying issue I had was that it refused to connect to my wireless network saying that weren't any available. No matter what I did I couldn't get it to connect ... so now I have ethernet cords running all through my house lol

JBougie...you just took a snapshot of the UPC or your receipt and uploaded it to the website, correct? To get the free upgrade? Kind of confused about that, which to take a snapshot of~

They give you the option of letting them take your serial number information, so I just allowed them to do that - so they connected automatically and scanned for the info they needed. Otherwise, you have to find the seirial number area on the back of the computer - I don't know what else they wanted since I didn't really pay attention after they did it automatically.

You just need to scan a copy of the receipt. You have the option to mail it in if you don't have a scanner - but if you take a really good picture of it so that it's clear it will work also.

I don't know what site you used, but if you have an HP - this is the site I used, just in case we are talking about two completely different processes :)

I think the site i had to go on was different. I bought a HP Pavillion dv4 laptop..but somehow it couldn't automatically get my serial numbers, so i sat there putting all that in

Thanks for tip..I'll take a good picture of my whole receipt since i dont own a scanner.....can't wait to try it out. Vista can't even start-up right, i had to hold down power key to start it up and then recovery mode...wtf?
