Fanfare Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) Congratulations on being chosen as a host, Warrior! I'm still inquisitive about what's going to be the particular difference between the signature edition and the retail version? Other than a signature on the box, anything else that sets itself apart? From what I've gathered, it's no different from the retail one, except the only catch is that party hosts get it for free is all. If you ever get the chance of installing the signature edition when the time is right, please post your findings, Warrior.

Warrior124 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I don't think there are any differences at all. I'll post whenever I get any info, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xaggeration Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 The program your talking about gives people who buy a PC with Vista Home Premium, Business or Ultimate a "free" upgrade to their respectible couterparts: Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional or Ultimate once the new operating system ships. People who buy an "eligible" PC between June 26, 2009 and Jan. 31, 2010 qualify for the upgrade. Although almost every brand of computer makers are chargeing for the upgrade, only 10-15 bucks, but rediculous none-the-less. And more than likely, it'll be like the upgrade process between XP and Vista. A month after the release date of 7, you'll get your copy. But hey, Windows 7 looked promiseing, maybe Microsoft has actually started doing something right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, when you buy a new pc, or laptop with Vista installed you get a free version of Windows 7. It seems they really have done alot better with this new OS than previous editions.

takaharu_ Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 The Windows 7 upgrade isn't entirely free; although they have to give you Windows 7 for free if you send them back the Win7 upgrade voucher, the companies are squeezing every possible penny out of you from the P&P, which they are allowed to charge for. HP, for example, are charging their customers £22 for "Shipping and handling" charges, even though the OS itself is free. It's better than the retail (or even the OEM) price of Windows 7 but they really are taking the P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
