Hey, I'm not sure if this has been posted, or if it applies to everyone, or if it will even work but legally, it should.
I was looking at the conditions of the free upgrade to windows 7 thing, and it said any computer purchased on or after June 26, 2009 and before October 22, 2009 that comes with Windows Vista. I was somewhat annoyed seeing as I ordered my system, as well as most of you I think well before June 26th, then I realized it said "Purchased". I checked my online banking, and my credit card hadn't been charged for this laptop until July 7th, therefore making the date of purchase July 7th no?
I have discussed this with a few people and legally it should work if you have documents proving you hadn't "purchased" (been charged on your credit card/whatever) until after June 26th. I can't talk to customer care until Monday, so this is up in the air until then.
Check your statements/online banking and hopefully you'll get yourself a free upgrade to Windows 7. If I'm not mistaken, the only way they can avoid this is if they have written somewhere that the date of purchase is the date of order, I'll leave that for someone else to look up.
I really hope I didn't make a huge tool of myself for completely overlooking something obvious, but whatever.

Order date has 0 to do with it . If your "Received" your machine after June 26th you are all set my friend.
