Woooo…..

I am writing this from my new laptop, I have it on my lap as I sit in bed, I am watching a new episode of Family Guy, chatting to my girlfriend and downloading torrents. This is of course, all without wires.

Kickass.

  • Vista Home Edition

    As mentioned in this post, I stand to receive a laptop fairly soon (actually I am hoping within the next few hours). I have been reading that many purchases made after 26th October 2006 and came bundled with Windows XP, they get a free Express Upgrade to Windows Vista.

    From the Acer Website:

    Your new Acer computer prepares you for all of the benefits of upcoming Windows Vistaâ„¢ thanks to our excellent Express Upgrade to Windows Vistaâ„¢ offer! Any Acer Windows Vistaâ„¢ Capable or Windows Vistaâ„¢ Premium Ready PC bought between October 26, 2006 and March 15, 2007 includes an Express Upgrade to Windows Vistaâ„¢ option that gears you up for the great new innovations of Windows Vistaâ„¢ once they become available.

    They offer:

    Your current Windows® OS

    Express Upgrade to Windows Vista™ Acer offers

    Windows® XP Media Center Edition

    Windows Vista™ Home Premium Edition

    The promotion will end March 15, 2007 and end-user submission for redemption needs to be complete by March 31, 2007 so if the release for Vista Home is scheduled early January, I will have to get in quick…….thats if the laptop arrives!
