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

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.
