My first computer (that I helped build). Had a 249 MB Seagate drive, 1 MB Cirrus Logic video card, 14.4 kbps modem, Windows 3.1, no CD ROM drive, but we did have the HD 5 1/4 and 3 1/2 floppies, with a 14" monitor for about 2k in 1993.

Before installing a program, just copy C:\windows to C:\windowsbackup and if all hell broke lose, you just copied it back. Those were the good ole days.

No, the free upgrade is only applicable for the purchase of a computer from an OEM retailer. They do the free upgrade to prevent people from NOT buying a computer and just waiting for Windows 7 to come out. This could seriously hurt an HP, Dell or Gateway.
