Microsoft Advances 64-Bit With Advancement Program

Microsoft announced a program to help move along its current 64-bit offerings in the form of a trade in program of sorts. Current owners of licensed 32-bit version of Microsoft Windows XP Professional and Microsoft Windows Professional Reduced Media Edition will be able to pick up the Windows XP Professional 64-bit Edition.
The one catch is to get the program, one needed to have bought a computer between the dates of March 31, 2003 and July 2005 with 32-bit Microsoft Windows XP Professional preinstalled.
Another problem could be support for the new program as the upgrade will end support by the computer company and Microsoft only give you one freebie for installation problems. All other calls to Bill and the Microboys will cost you.
The price for this upgrade is just for shipping: $12 for in the U.S., $22 for out.
Did I mention you have to format your hard drive for this one?
