Angry Windows 7 "Free" Upgrade not free :(
Shipping & Handling costs apply depending on manufacture

Acer wants to charge me 20.00 USD, (US -> NZ)

Fuck that i'll wait for a pirate copy.

FUCK YOU MICROSOFT AND ACER.

Why cant there be a little more transepency in such offers? i suppose because then they wouldn't appeal to as many people.

I would NOT have brought an Acer if i had known, i would most definately have chosen a manufacture who is offering the free upgrades,

Which makes me wonder why those who are offering free shipping did not advertise that fact?

I hate these money grabbing pricks today *sigh

'Free' Windows 7 upgrades not always free, says consumer group

Another police trainer said Chuck Norris was a role model for the police in Falluja, which until 2007 was an al Qaeda stronghold and the scene of fierce battles with security forces.

"I've seen his videos, he's a hero. He saves the city, he protects women and children and he fights crime wherever it is. We should all be like Chuck Norris,"

Fully functioning, self updating, pirate copies might or might not have been in circulation for well over a month now. Just saying ...

Yeah but so was the case with Vista and they all stopped working or had the activation cancelled sooner or later.
I bought a new laptop 3 months ago at Aldi and with it came a 19.95€ upgrade for 7, I'd rather pay 20 bucks for a legal copy then have a headache a year after with not being able to receive updates and whatnot.
