Vista Upgrade Voucher Sign-Up
If you purchased a PC after October 26th or plan to do so in the next few months then Santa may have another little present for you early next year. Many PC manufacturers and vendors have signed up to Microsoft’s Free or discount Vista ‘Express’ Upgrade scheme. The only trouble is they may not have told you about it, or they are not making it easy to sign up for the vouchers, which should be sent out in January. Some companies are also imposing shed-loads of conditions or imposing ‘handling’ charges and which version of Vista you ge6t depends on the OS the new PC you’ve just bought is using but even so, with copies of Vista selling for upwards of £100 it’s probably still a good deal, even if it’s not exactly a freebie.You should first visit the manufacturer or vendor’s web site. PC Word’s Sign up page is buried in its technical support site for example. Any PC bought from Mesh after October 26th also qualifies for a free copy or discount and to save you the trouble go here to sign up. For more details about the scheme and to see which manufacturers are participating head over the Microsoft Express Vista Upgrade site.
