ASUS has announced details regarding which systems are eligble for the free Windows 7 upgrade. Well, free as in you only have to pay for shipping. The good news is that if you have purchased a qualifying Eee PC between June 26, 2009 and January 31, 2010, you can register with ASUS to get your new copy of Windows 7. The bad news is that your Eee PC probably doesn’t qualify and you will have to spend $50 at Amazon to get your Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade. In order to qualify, your Eee PC must have shipped with Windows Vista or XP Professional (which is only offered in Japan on an Eee PC). The Eee’s that do qualify are:
EeePC 1101HA with Vista Home Premium (Japan Only)
EeePC 1005HA with XP Pro/Vista Business (Japan Only)
