Samsung UK Announces Vista Upgrade
Samsung UK have finally made an announcement about an upgrade to Vista see http://www.samsung.com/uk/vista/order.htm. Recipients still have to pay for handling and delivery. It might be worth a look.

PS: Closer examination of Samsung's notice indicates that while the front page says any ..... may be eligible, the details relate only to models of the X11, R55 and R40 supplied with Windows MCE.

Re: Samsung UK Announces Vista Upgrade
I have stumbled across another page for the Samsung Vista upgrade offer at http://www.samsungcomputer.com/event...l?SMSESSION=NO . This page also lists Windows XP Pro as well as Windows MCE. However, the X60 is not mentioned.

Re: Samsung UK Announces Vista Upgrade
I have revisited the Vista upgrade system and at present (26 February) the following computers are listed as eligible for upgrades. This list is longer than when I previously looked and the additions are in bold. All are listed under the following options: (The pricing is because I am in UK. Other countries should see their local equivalent of basic US$ prices).
XP Home >> Vista Home Premium (£40 + delivery)
XP Pro >> Vista Business (£1.29 + del)
XP MCE >> Vista Home Premium (£1.29 + delivery)

The X60 series continues to be conspicuous by its absence. With the exception of the NP-R40K006/SUK, all the additions to the list are /SEG, wherever that is.

p.s. you can still apply for the vista upgrade if your notebook doesn't appear on the list, as long as it fits the standard criterion, i.e. bought within the correct timescale, and has an eligible version of windows pre-installed ( XP Home, MCE or PRO )
:D

Re: Samsung UK Announces Vista Upgrade
Good news!!
I have just revisited the Vista upgrade site and gone through the various steps. When I got to the page where the computer models were in a pull-down list, I found the list has disappeared. So I put in NP-X60/TZ01-SUK, the computer serial number, the Windows COA number and then proceeded to the next step.
So it seems that someone in Samsung decided that it was easier to let the claimants put in their model number rather than modify the list of computers.
My next challenge is to submit a copy of the invoice by email, fax or paper mail. I'm miles from home I but had the forethought to scan the paperwork before I left.
So all you Samsung owners who bought after 26th October 2006 and want to spend £14.57 to try out Vista, get your orders in before the door shuts.

Re: Samsung UK Announces Vista Upgrade
I too noticed this, and have filed a claim for an XP Pro to Vista Business 32bit update. Strangely the number they ask you to call gives you another number in the Netherlands to fax the details to and a PO box to send it to. I have faxed my details, but they say to allow 4-6 weeks for delivery :(
So far I have gone back to the site and retrieved the order details:
Order Number : XXXXXXXCost is £14.57 in the UK as John pointed out.
Order Status : COA validated
Shipping Date :
Carrier : Standard
AWB# :
I will post back if I get any updates or the DVD arrives.
