The free Windows 7 upgrades that Microsoft has promised buyers of new PCs powered by Vista are not always free, a consumer watchdog Web site says.

"To me, whether it's $12.99 or $17.03, the charges are all outrageous," said Edgar Dworsky, the editor of Consumerworld.org and Mouseprint.org. "It's just a single disc they're sending, and with media mail rates, it costs just over a dollar to mail."

Just read on an Australian site that the same type of 'free' charges will be made and many retailers are not telling the buyers of the 'extras' - sad.gif
We seem to be charging a bit more than you ($35-$40) but that is always the case - blink.gif
