Best Buy Memo about Win 7 Upgrade Plans
http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/b...tails-windows/

Quote:
any PC sold with Vista Home Premium, Business or Ultimate between June 26th and the Windows 7 launch day (October 22nd) will be eligible for a free upgrade to Win7. Better still, the individual OSes also qualify for the update, and starting on June 26th, Best Buy will begin "pre-selling" the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade ($49.99) and the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade ($99.99).
This probably isn't official policy yet, at least not until June 26th. Quite interesting, though.

Maybe when it's time to purchase final versions, MS will extend such courtesies to us.

"Microsoft is launching Windows 7 in mid-October 2009. This new operating system isn't just a "Vista that works" program - it's a new operating system with improved productivity, functionality and creativity that uses less computer resources."

Never mind the fact that we never knew an OS could posses "improved productivity" -- how about admitting that Vista, in effect, doesn't "work."
This is the best part! Now that M$ has some information that has been leaked on to the interwebz stating that THEY do not think Vista "works" is priceless.

This is not by any means unique to Best Buy. We are doing the same thing.
