Vista - Windows Vista

I have recently purchased a Gateway Laptop while on holiday ain America which
has free upgrade to windows vista available. The shop where i bought it says
that they will only do the fre upgrade for someone living in America as you
are supposed to fill out your receipt and then send it off.

I was just wondering if anyone knew if i would be eligable for the upgrade
to windows vista now that im back in the uk or has anyone else bought a
laptop in America lately and got a way to get windows vista.

I bet your upgrade DVD gets crushed in the mail.

Hmmm strange predicament, I don't know if this stands, but do you have
anyone in the US that you can mail the receipt there to get the upgrade for
you and send it to you by courier or something?
