Just curious, is Lenovo providing eligible customers with a free upgrade to Windows Vista?

Thanks.

It might be easier to call and have them change the order to have Vista to begin with.

Dont do this. Wait till everything is working properly. If you start with XP Pro, you get 2 operating systems for the same price. If you start with Vista, you are stuck with it.

Very Good advice.

Also, guys correct me if I am wrong, isn't Lenovo offering upgrade to only those who had purchased a thinkpad pre-loaded with MS Windows XP Home between Oct and March?

xp pro users (in that time period) get Vista Business. I'm glad I got home, cause I can get Vista Home Premium, instead of Business.

just to note, shipping and handling is not free. I think it's about $10.

Interesting. I'm glad I got XP Pro for the exact opposite reason.

I assume they send you only an Upgrade license, not a full license. I don't know for sure if that's true or not. But if it is (and it would make sense), then your XP license is voided the instant you install Vista.
