That's the thing. It's free. I bought insurance, so at worse I'll get a new laptop if this one is as messed up as the last. I'll still have to buy more insurance. Geek Squad could also accuse me of sabotaging my own laptops, at which point I'll say that they do a perfectly good job of doing that themselves by having Vista-only PCs for sale.
