Originally, it cost $50 and was only available on their businessy TZ2000. Then it got free. Now Sony says it'll be available for every computer Vaio TZ by the end of the summer. Hey, maybe next they'll make it the default. Oh yeah, not a chance. [Pocketables]

Looks like Sony realized how jackassy it made them look, as it's going to be free as of tomorrow. Here's the full quote:
"Starting March 22, Sony will offer Fresh Start free of charge. We want VAIO users to have the best experience possible with our PCs, and we believe Fresh Start will help ensure that happens right out-of-the-box."
Huzzah!
