Windows 7 for under £13 (Acer purchases from 06/09)

There are a few requirements but if you bought an Acer Windows Vista®-based PC from June 26, 2009 to January 31, 2010 you can fill in the form and get Windows 7 for £12.78

While it was meant to be a free upgrade, we are apparently paying for the postage

Any idea if this will this be linked to the laptop in question or can you use it on another machine?

Probably just the single pc/laptop as I had to enter my Acer laptop serial number

I have read elsewhere that some have fibbed about their purchase date and still got one (if anyone bought one a little before June)

Ah that's what i thought. I'd only just received my retail W7 when i found out my father bought a new Acer and went in for the upgrade. Given he hasn't felt at home on an OS since Win95 i thought i might be able to pinch it but if it's tied to his laptop i'll stick with the one that arrived the other day.
