HP will offer free Vista drivers with Vista upgrade disks

Every HP computer that is "Windows Vista ready" and shipped with a Windows Vista upgrade coupon will get a free copy of Windows Vista when it is released. However, they will also get a free DVD full of various drivers, as well as a small guide on upgrading to Windows Vista, to make the upgrade process as worry free as possible. HP has worked since 2001 with Microsoft to ensure an easy upgrade path.Source: The Inquirer

Now, I wonder if they will reward past customers (2 years at most) with an upgrade coupon. Would be nice.

i wouldnt exspect anything but free drivers, if i had to pay for drivers for something i just wouldnt buy it. Are there companies charging for vista drivers?

I think they are probably trying to make more of the fact that they are putting them all on a single DVD for ease of upgrade rather than that they are free. But you are right - its the least you would expect
