If you purchased the laptop on or after 10/26/06 you should be able to
upgrade for about $10.00. Check the laptop manufacturer website for details.

It usually depends on the vendor. My OEM version of XP let's me upgrade to
Vista for $59 for Home Basic and $79 for Home Premium.

I would love to hear of just one person who has received their free
upgrade. I have been waiting 2 months now. My upgrade was accepted
after they received the receipt for my new PC.
