It’s nothing to do with the current budget by our gahmen to impose RM50 per primary credit card. I don’t really care about it! Why? Because, I don’t own one. I purchased my laptop on Oct 3, 2009, loaded with Windows Vista Home Premium (it sucks big time, seriously driving me mad at times), so that’ll be entitled me for free upgrade Windows 7. To get the free upgrade I need to pay a small handling fee to Microsoft. When, I tried to order the upgrade kit through the HP (Btw, mine is HP DV6 lappie =D) website, there is only one payment option provided to be able to place the order, which is by Credit Card!
Now, HP has a free upgrade promotion for those purchasing their notebooks & desktops from Oct 12, 2009 till Dec, 2009. When I called their support staff they told I might me be eligible for this promotion but on the second thought they asked to place the order through their website & borrow the credit card from my parents to make the payment! The problem is none of my family members own 1! (Yeah, we are a bunch of people who thinks CREDIT CARDS are big culprits in producing spendthrifts!) Anyway, to cut long the story short, at the end of the conversation I found no solution to my problem.
I’ve emailed HP regarding other payment options, just received an apology email today that it’ll take them another 10 days to get back to me regarding my enquiry (Ouch!).
So till then guess I have to keep up with Vista!
Signing off now!
