Claiming your copy of Vista...

Got a C-Series recently & was wondering how I claim my copy of Vista in January, nothing came in the box..

Does it get sent to me automatically, can I download it over the internet or do I need to apply for it?

Hi Nico, I had my laptop replaced by vaio link in November for a new one, can I claim a copy of Vista?

Thanks

Hi Andy,

Nice try but as your FE was a replacement I expect Sony will not supply you with a Vista upgrade as you did not purchase your Vaio within the qualifying period.. :slight_frown:

Grr, I don't think I would actually instal it, as I would be afraid of mucking it all up, but would like a free copy :cry: Also, my warranty acording to e-support runs out at the end of August. Should this new laptop be covered for a year from when I received it?

Thanks again,
Andy

I see it still says Coming Soon, when exactly is it going to be rolled out, or is it when retail is released?

I would presume so Kee, I'm guessing it's sometime in January, I will still try and get a free copy, I had a report on my keyboard, aparently it's within the acceptable bounds, although I'm not sure how they can tell from a picture easily. Well It's ok cos it isn't too bad, at least it's logged incase anything goes wrong with it in the future :slight_smile:

Yeah i came across this extreme delivery charge too! Entered my card details and it didn't give me n e sort of receipt or n e thing it only came up with two buttons saying "cancel payment" and "cancel order" then said if u cancel now, u will have to talk to customer services! Not too sure whether they took payment or n e thing as yet! Hopefully things should become clearer soon as I know Sony aren't going to scam me out of £17 :tongue:
Can n e 1 shed some light on this situation???
Cheers!

Thats what I got, I decided to go back to the first page on a new window and clicked on check status of order, entered my laptop details and it states that theres no order for my laptop. :devil:
