    Is Microsoft that desperate?

    Heck, I'd go for that on my laptop.  I think I'll call Toshiba tomorrow and see what they can do.

    Don't believe this is a sign of desperation, believe they're just trying to get Windows 7 to be more of a success and more users to convert over.

      Well, I had vista for a few days and it didn't cooperate with my system AT ALL!  So I went back to xp for a few months, then went to windows 7.  It is so much cleaner and the compatibility issues are gone!  I think windows 7 will thrive immediately any way you look at it.  (And it is new, so some people will just have to run out and buy it right away!!!!!!!)

        Well i do a tad bit of Beta testing for them on the side over the years...
        Least they could do is throw me a bone once in awhile.... ;)

        All kidding aside many retailers are offering similar deals so i suggest if you are considering it to buy early and often.

        No sense in paying full boat for anything.

        Toshiba is sending me mine for free.  My laptop is 2 months old and I get it pro-rated.  It makes me glad that I asked.

        That's exactly what I thought.  The only problem is that then I will need to reinstall everything.  Oh well, it'll be a challenge to get it all going, and nothing easy is ever worthwhile eh?   8)

        Win7 is worth all that work...
        Or just buy another laptop HDD and keep both.
