Quote from Jakg :No, not at all. Not sure what details you'll need though - I only have info on the DSGi specific portal (unhelpfullying grabbing the domain name "Win7Upgrade.co.uk")

Quote :*Offer only available from June 26th 2009 until October 23rd 2009 for Vista Premium, Business and Ultimate operating systems.

Ah never mind, it's Home Basic I think Was worth a go anyway
Quote from Jakg :Sorry for seeming anal - theres a lot of misinformation on the internet!

For the PC you'll need a receipt showing the date of purchase, and the Vista key.

EDIT - I have noticed in the T&C's that they say the PC must be made within the upgrade period - but I'll be honest I don't see how thats gonna work as few PC's have a date of manufacturer written on them, but the ones that do usually are already a month or so "old" when they are new...

No, thats not true. The PC must be purchased at that time. Not made.
So for example if I will buy all the componenst and Vista OEM you can upgrade to Win 7 for a really small fee. Some vendors will give that upgrade for free.

You can't get the upgrade on a self made machine - it doesn't apply to OEM I dont think.

The PC has to be both purchased and made at that time, too...

EDIT - From the Microsoft Retail Training Site:

Quote :Disclaimers

2 PC Manufacturers may choose to offer a shorter program period within the allowed date range. Program end date will be confirmed when Windows 7 General Availability is announced. The last day of program eligibility will not be sooner than January 31, 2010. Contact your PC Manufacturer for details on eligible PCs, dates, cost-to-consumer and fulfillment process.

3 Contact your PC manufacturer for details on cost-to-consumer.

4 Qualifying PC must be manufactured by a PC manufacturer participating in the Windows 7 Upgrade Option program.

5 PC manufacturer must provide PC manufacturer program and technical support contact information. Contact your computer manufacturer for details on fulfillment process.

It does apply on the OEM version as well.
I am quite sure and confident about that. You will see once it will be possible that it will be working.

Beside that some of our country biggest online retailer confirm that as well:

The only drawback of OEM is that if you want to replace the motherboard this licence end and is not valid anymore.
You can go around if you will get a confirmation from the seller or repair compnay that the motherboard was faulty and need to be replaced.
