Rumors are going around that users who bought a pc loaded with Vista will get an upgrade from Microsoft. Neowin reports that a document is circulating which states the computers purchased after July 1st(2009) will be eligible for a free Windows 7 upgrade! Whohoo.
I’m set to build/buy another PC so I’m in a quandery if I should wait. July is a long time. Other blogs reports that an upgrade from XP (which I have) will be available for a minimal fee. BUT, “upgrade” here means a clean install. Vista users will get a direct upgrade path.
Marketing geniuses at Microsoft will be selling “Non-Starter Packs” which is basically a downgraded version. Meaning it can only run three apps at time. WTH! Who does that? Doug Barney says Microsoft will then hit users for additional mulah for an upgrade. WTH! again. Calling all crackers.
