    Does anyone know who gives the Tax Free student laptop from TigerDirect? Is this held in the company? Or through the Government?

    Do these refurbished machines from TigerDirect part of the free Window 7 upgrade program?

    I'm not sure how to apply. I ended up buying something else other than the TD refurb. You guys should ask the people in this thread if they applied for the W7 upgrade
