Sounds like a plan. Please mark the thread as solved.simrick— Thanks for the info. I've followed the links and learned two things: (1) there's a report that someone at MS has stated that the available method for the extended upgrade window will be disabled within the next couple weeks; (2) there seems to be some spirited discussion regarding the ethics of using this method if one doesn't, in fact, qualify in terms of being a member of a user population with a legitimate need. ¶ Personally, I'm a bit ambivalent about these arguments, but in my case, were I to use this method, I could easily justify it predicated on the fact that, albeit at the proverbial "last minute," I did in fact begin the upgrade on July 29th. ¶ In any event, for now, I've decided to just stick with using Windows 7. ¶ Thanks again for this update, and for your previous suggestions. —Thri
