There might be something hidden away on their website.

I asume you are aware that theres still a fee? It aint a free upgrade.

I've had a Vista Licence for a few weeks now, but I'm not going to install it yet, but not because of Vista issues, but of the annoyingly patchy driver support for my hardware. As soon as this improves I shall upgrade.

Yea, there will be lots of drivers that will need to be sorted out. But basically Vista is an awesome OS.
