You make a series of ill-informed purchases and come here looking
for exactly what ?
Take the notebook back and get a refund, wait a day or two and
re-purchase to get the coupon.
What's interesting about your post is that all the things you blame
on bad luck or timing where all things a little research could have
avoided.
Buying 3rd-Party copies of XP is risky no matter who you get it
from. And you come to a MS hosted newsgroup to report you
worked around WGA/Notifications ?
Finally, Anyone who uses derivative the spellings of Microsoft
and Windows needs a Robin Williams course in "Quick Thinking
and Witty Sayings."

Windblows did it again. I first buy a PC in Fall of '01 when PC's had
ME, and right after that XP came out. I was so close, but not told
about and/or missed any opportunities of getting an upgrade voucher
that many of the stores offer courtesy of Microsoft. I was so pissed
when I started using ME and found it nothing but a constant BSOD (Blue
Screen Of Death), that I went out and bought a 3rd party version of XP
Pro for a good price only to find out later it was a bootleg when they
started doing the WGA checks. So I had to look up how to get around
that to keep my PC going.
Now, I buy a laptop at CompUSA a few weeks ago, and again found out I
JUST MISSED getting a freaking voucher for a FREE upgrade to Vista! I'm
REALLY pissed now, and the laptop is "Vista Capable". I needed a
laptop pronto when I found out I needed one. So I had to get it then, a
few weeks ago. But again, the stores and M$$$ are telling me I can't
have it free, while they're giving it free to millions of others now,
and I PAID JUST AS MUCH for my laptop with XP MCE2005 as others are now
and getting the free upgrade.
So, if anyone knows where I can get my free upgrade that everyone else
is getting who are buying new Vista capable PC's, please let me know.
Or it's off to the crack sites for me. No wonder people are
distributing/getting "illegitamate" copies of Windows and/or activation
codes, etc., I don't blame them one bit in a case like this. Come on
MS, be fair to EVERYBODY who just bought a Vista capable PC, and maybe
you'll see less pirates when you don't piss people off like that.
