Apprently alot of manufacturers have decided not to honour the upgrade.
Retailers where told all system purchased would get upgrade now they are apprently limiting models.
Bought new Gateway at Tiger direct in Jun and Gateway says medel doesn't qualify.
Went to TD & mgr. told me they have had numerous complaints about mfg's changing rules regarding which models they would honour.
