    I was attempting to do the free Vista upgrade, but from the Asus site the Z96J is not on the list of PC models to choose from.

    The Z96j is a barebone and its not sold by ASUS directly, so it doesn't count for the upgrade provided by ASUS(ENSEMBLE).

    If you bought it after October 26th, and you bought XP with it, you should have received the free upgrade coupon. If you did not, contact your dealer and they should send you one.

    It is true, all new XP Pro CD comes with a free Vista Business version upgrade coupon.
