Here is something interesting I ran across: The Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Program. Quoting the article:
The Windows 7 Upgrade Program is designed to assist Microsoft’s OEM partners in minimizing the number of end users who may postpone acquiring a new computer because of the impending release of the Windows 7 operating system. This program allows OEMs to offer an upgrade to Windows 7 to end users who qualify.
The article then goes on to give the details, but basically if it looks like if you buy a new computer with Vista pre-loaded you will be elligible to receive a free copy of Windows 7 when it is released. One ‘gotcha’ to be aware of though:
Do note that this is an optional program, so not all OEMs may choose to participate. OEMs that choose to participate in this upgrade program will have the freedom to determine how to best provide qualifying end users with the details.
I would imagine most PC makers would participate, but this is definitely worth looking into if you are wanting to upgrade your computer in the near future.
