Yup'er. I got the same scoop. So, I gets on da phone, and calls Microsoft.
"What gives?" I says... After givin' da whole story tree, many foh-ur times, 
and bein' askt'ed to call anudder numba (1-206-882-8088), I spoke wid a really
nice lady who lookt'd me up in her data-base, like. She said, "ok". Told me
ta write some stuff on my upgrade for'm, 'n send it in wid $50 + s/h.

End o' story! I'm mail'n it soon, but I tinks we what sent the upgrade
for'm is ok....
