If you are giving free WINDOWS 7 TO BUYERS OF LAPTOPS PURCHASED AFTER JUNE 2009 WHY NOT ALL UNHAPPY USERS. OUR BUSINESS SHOULD BE AS VALUED AS THEIRS. iF I DON’T GET SOME SATISFACTION I’LL CHOOSE APPLE NEXT TIME LIKE MY DAUGHTER AND SON IN LAW DID. WHEN YOU MESS UP YOU SHOULD BE BIG ENOUGH TO MAKE IT RIGHT.

Can we do anything about this? Seriously I am SICK TO DEATH of big corporations grabbing your money easily, and not giving a damn about those that have problems or – worse – lose productivity due to incompetently designed operating systems. Microsoft have quite clearly ‘crossed the line’ by releasing a faulty product, and fixed it be creating a NEW product which you HAVE TO PAY FOR!!! This is just wrong and makes my blood boil. Wouldn’t it be fab if a bunch of us DID decide to do something about this and get some kind of action against Microsoft about this. Those who purchased Vista SHOULD be eligable for a free upgrade – Win7 is really just a fixed version of Vista anyways. Anyone have contacts in the media to get the ball rolling?

Agree with all this. I bought Vista (£90) summer 2008 and had nothing but trouble with it. Then I find out Microsh*te are aware of the problems… and are working on a NEW operating system, rather than fixing Vista.

THEN I have to pay out another £90 just to upgrade from a OS that SHOULD have worked in the first place??!? Microsh*te are a bunch of thieving swine. VERY tempted to download a cracked version of Windows 7 as they don’t deserve another £90 of mine.

Those who bought a product (Vista) which was quite clearly NOT finished properly should get a FREE upgrade to Windows 7. We paid for faulty goods afterall!

Thank GOD I have a Mac too or I’d be jumping out the nearest window in frustration…..

I am also stuck with Vista because of DELL. The salesman at the time told me that Windows XP will no longer be supported by Microsoft after Vista has been running for a few months. I was misled and I am stuck with an inefficient os. Dell or Microsoft should offer a free upgrade to Windows7 or at least at a minimal price.

Me too! I would like to know if there is a way initiate a class action suite. This operating system along with it’s seven-page article that begins “This article contains information to help you diagnose why Windows Vista or Windows Server 208 serice packs are not being offered to you through Windows Update.”

AND . . continues “Although this article contains several methods that you can try”(try?) “to resolve the problem, don’t be overwhelmed.” I am overwhelmed that they are telling me not to be overwhelmed!

I had to buy a laptop in a hurry in March 2008, so I went to a local Best Buy and bought a Sony VAIO. I wanted a machine with XP but NONE were availble in the store, so I was forced to get VISTA. I knew there were many complaints about VISTA, but I had no idea just how bad it really is. After suffering with this inferior OS all year, I think the very least Microsoft should do is give me a free upgrade to 7 to compensate for my misery. They need to do the right thing or expect to lose many long time Micrsoft users like me who will switch to Mac.

I completely agree that Microsoft should AT LEAST give a reduced upgrade price to those of us who were unfortunate enough to purchase a computer that had Windows Vista installed on it. I purchased my computer in fall of 2008, and it is not fair that I should have to pay full price for an upgrade when, if I would have had my way, I would have been able to purchase a computer with XP to begin with. I am completely appalled by Microsoft and am thinking of switching to a MAC. Interestingly enough, the MAC commercials are pretty accurate!

I have struggled with
vista the whole time I have had it on my HP Pavillon desktop. Never know what new quirk will bubble up. Finally got SP 2 installed after having to download a patch from Msft (Downloading a patch to make a Msft download work?? Go figure.) Have not been able to create a restore point for months…something about insufficient space….hello, I have a 320 gig hard disk and a 1 terrabyte external drive that does not have sufficient space? Could ramble on forever about shortcomings of Vista. You would think that the powers that be at Msft would admit their error and do the right thing..by giving free access to their latest software by users who have endured Vista…..
