Moduslink Vista upgrade is Free or not Free?

I've just bought the A100-906 notebook with Windows XP Home. As I understand I can upgrade it to Windows Vista. And, as I understand, for free.
But then I visit Microsoft Upgrade site I've seen an item price 95,47USD without shipping and handling for Vindows Vista Home Premium.
Am I have to pay it or I just have to make an Order, send it to [email protected] and Toshiba will pay it?
In sort, I mean is this upgrade is free or Toshiba just gives a discount?

Hej,
you are in the same situation like I was.
1.: Updates are only free from XP PRO to Vista Business or from XP MCE to Vista Home Premium.
2.: Updates from XP Home cost. Even from XP Home to Vista Home Basic you have to pay a lot.
I ordered like you want to do Vista Home Premium for 98,xx . Right now I am glad that I could cancel this order. I really advice you not to order via Moduslink. The company was just founded for the upgrade. You can hardly reach them via email. The only thing that works is letter or fax.
And in the end: You just get an upgrade! So I kindly advice you not to order there. Instead of this, order in your favourite online shop a Windows Vista Home Premium SystemBuilder / OEM product. I ordered as well for 99,- so it is not even one Euro more then the upgrade. You get a full version and I had it in one day. On ModusLink I waited for over 6 weeks and nothing happenend.

  • Why is it that free games are usually require to purchased the upgrades or full version not free at all?

    Why is it that free games are usually require to purchased the upgrades or full version not free at all?

    Cause the people that developed them didn't do it out of the goodness of their hearts, they did it to make money.
    I don't go for many games, but one thing to look for is a lot of 'top in app purchases' then read the reviews.
    they kinda fall under a technicality, the shell of the game IS free, but content isnt'. Just like the app to read a magazine is free, but the actual magazines aren't.
    And i'm sure the app store loves to see so many 'free' signs on the cover, so they can advertise taht there are tons of free apps...which technically there are and they're not lying. Not until you did into it do you see that free app  is not the same as free app with free content.

  • Equium A100-306 Question about ModusLink Vista Upgrade

    Hi,
    I purchased a Equium A100-306 in November prior to deploying on operations as I am in the forces and was unable to upgrade before this.
    I have just returned and have found out I can no longer get my Vista upgrade as I have missed the deadline. I have E-mailed ModusLink with no response. I was wondering if anyone has any advice or could help me resolve this problem.
    I feel I should not miss out on the free upgrade due to circumstances out of my control. Looking through the documentation I received with my laptop there was no deadline stated it is only on the internet the deadline is made clear but I was unable to check this out.
    Thanks for any help.
    Greg

    Ivan is right. The moduslink company is responsible for the XP to Vista upgrade.
    It controls the upgrade procedure for all computer companies which offer this upgrade.
    However, I dont think that you will be able to order the Vista upgrade if you have missed the deadline but of course nothing is impossible and you should really ask the moduslink guys if you can take this offer good luck buddy

  • Free songs not free?

    I always like to hit the "Free on iTunes" every week. Have found some cool new artists that way. But the last couple of weeks, songs/videos that appear in the "Free on iTunes", when clicked, are NOT free. Last week I ended up paying for a video that was suppose to be "Free". At least, one would assume it is supposed to be free since it appears in the section, "Free on iTunes".
    This week, two of the items in the "Free on iTunes" section are not "free". If you click the "View" button to look at the details, the download button shows a charge. One is $0.99; the other $1.29. If they aren't free, why are they even showing up in the "Free on iTunes" section. I don't mind paying for music when I want it. But when I'm offered something for "free" and then charged for it, that seems a bit deceptive.
    Anyone else annoyed by this?

    It would appear that the iPod hard drive or iPod software has become corrupt. This doesn't mean that the songs are not on your iPod, hence the fact that the iPod reports used space and iTunes may show them.
    You should restore the iPod and then reload the songs from iTunes.

  • HT204266 When is a Free App not Free?

    According to Apps Gone Free, 'Pure Meditation-Premium' should be free, but when I go to itunes it is $1.99.   Will I be charged if I download it?

    Pure Meditation Premium shows as being $1.99 for me as well, so it is not free. It would appear that Apps Gone Free is wrong or out of date.
    Regards.

I cannot get anyone to help me ( a good paying customer with two active phones, ) but I will leave VERIZON AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, the way I see it they have but one chance to keep my business and that is to honor the " worry free " thing they so boast on.

    well now they will not take it back because the box is gone, Ummmm, yeah, that's what the rules are... and they will not send me AT THE LEAST ANOTHER BATTERY FOR MY BOULDER If it's your old phone, then it's on you--I replace batteries and don't expect Verizon to pay...there are lots of accessory vendors on line with awesome prices; just be sure to get an OEM battery.  I've had good service, fast delivery, and excellent products buying online. 
    I cannot get anyone to help me ( a good paying customer with two active phones, ) but I will leave VERIZON AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, the way I see it they have but one chance to keep my business and that is to honor the " worry free " thing they so boast on.  You have (had) a responsibility as well; there are conditions for returning and exchanging phones via the Worry Free Guarantee, and you don't have the original packaging.  You can keep trying, and you may eventually get a sympathetic rep.  Good luck.

  • Is Caller Display free or not free for 12 months?

    When BT announced there would be a charge of £1.75 pm for Caller Display, they also stated this service would be free for 12 months if the subscriber renewed their contract for one year. i rang BT and agreed to take up the offer.
    I have looked at the past 2 bills and they have the following line entries. Here's the latest bill, word for word:
    1. BT Privacy at Home - Caller Display   28 Apr - 27 May 14 
    This is the cost of your BT Privacy at Home - Caller Display up to 27 May 2014 at £1.75 a month    £1.75
    2. BT Privacy with Caller Display free for 12 months 28 Apr - 27 May 14   £0.00
    I queried the £1.75 charge shown on line 1. via BT online webchat and here's BT's response, again word for word:
    "BT Privacy With Caller Display is free but for BT Privacy at Home you will be charged £1.75"
    You will notice that in their reply they have omitted 'Caller Display' after 'at Home' although the bill clearly shows this at line 1. above.
    Can somebody please tell me should I be paying £1.75 a month? If this is so then will line 2. revert to a further £1.75 after the 12 month's expiry which will mean £3.50 a month in total'.
    I just thought as a simpleton that I was getting Caller Display entirely free for 12 months by signing a new contract. Maybe life is not that simple?

    john46: You state "to put it very simply the 1.75 is charged on one line and credited back on the next line".
    Well it isn't. Had there had been such a credit on the bill I would not have raised a bill query with BT or this forum.
    Below is my total bill where you can see I have no credit shown. It all adds up to £34.50 including the £1.75 Caller Display fee.
    I cannot get a reply out of BT or even an acknowledgement to my email querying the charge. What do you suggest I do? Send a specific mail giving them 7 days' notice that I will cancel the Direct Debit and send a cheque less the missing credits, if I don't receive a satisfactory answer?
    Your reply and those of the 2 other respondents now confirm that there should be a credit line of £1.75.
    Whatever happens you have proven BT owes me £1.75 for each month this has occurred. May I therefore use your name and your answer in a further email to BT? It will be interesting to see if that prompts a response.

  • Broadband + Anytime: free or not free for three mo...

    I recently tried to upgrade online to BTs 'Broadband + Anytime', currently £16 per month (+ rental) and free for the first three months.
    When I get to the online 'Order Summary' page, it lists an item described as 'Phone' at a cost of £3 per month (in the first three months), but it doesn't say what this is for.
    Chatting online to an advisor revealed that this only happens if you already have an 'add-on' on your existing BT account for the line you want to upgrade to the new package. Yet, I have no 'add-ons' on that account and nobody at BT can tell me why the first three months isn't actually free, but will cost me £3 per month if I continue to sign up online!
    Does anybody here have any ideas what the £3 / month might be for??

  • Free but Not free apps

    Hello. I have a problem. I want to download some so called "free applications" but in fact when I want to download them into my Iphone I am directed to verify my account to make the payment. Althought all the applications I want to download are in the Free Section, they are payable. Do you know why? Am I a victim of a virus?

    Apple need to verify your account even though the apps are free.

  • Free downloads of the week not free???

    Hi,
    When I click the Buy Now for the Free Downloads of the Week, the song price shows it to be free.
    But, when I go to my shopping cart, the price for the Free Songs shows up as $.99. When I click the Buy Now button, I get a message saying that the price of some items has changed and to check my purchase.
    Is anyone else experiencing this?
    Is there a setting I can change?
    I am running v 7.5.
    Thank you!

    yes. I too have exactly the same issue.
    And is it not funny that there is really no easy way to find out an answer?
    Apple Support and iTunes please help!
    FREE is NOT FREE and is makes me not want to check the new music out if I feel I am going to have to actually pay for something that is FREE...it makes you feel ripped off...
    And in truth...this SONG is just up as the SONG of the WEEK!
    So it can'tbe TOO LATE....I have tried it over and over rebooting iTunes...
    could it be that I just downloaded a sorry HIPHOP tune yesterday?
    is it TUNE of the WEEK for a REASON? it knows if and when you last downloaded a song so it charges you .99 cents if it is less than 7days?
    come on! that is a sly way to sell FREE songs? isn't it?
    I must be joking myself...
    What is going on APPLE?
    thanks
