Vista Upgrade Coupon: Hidden Costs?
An article over at PC World analyzes the 'coupon' being offered by Microsoft - where if you buy a computer with Windows XP through select vendors between October 26, 2006 and March 15,2007 - you will be able to upgrade to Windows Vista for free.
Two good points are brought up through the article. First, the consumer is the person that will be doing the actual upgrade, and depending on the consumer it may not be as 'easy' as Microsoft claims it to be. Second, depending on the vendor you purchase the upgrade from, you will more than likely be paying (at minimum) shipping and handling, and maybe even upgrade fees to match the flavor of Vista you want.
