You heard right. If you're willing to suffer through just three months of Vista frustration, you can experience the wonders of Windows 7 right in the comfort of your own home for NO ADDITIONAL FEE (except for the additional fees noted above). Better yet, we'll throw in free access to the Windows online support forums, where will taunt you for having problems because clearly you must be doing something wrong, as we all know Windows products are generally flawless.
