MVC Posted June 24, 2009 MVC Share Posted June 24, 2009 Source: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10271742-56.html If you are thinking of buying a Windows Vista PC in the next day or so, you might want to hold off just a bit longer.Microsoft has said that it will have a program whereby Vista PC buyers will be able to get a free copy of Windows 7, but only if they purchase after a certain date. Well, that date would appear to be June 26. That is the date pointed to by enthusiast site TechARP and in a leaked Best Buy memo we reported on earlier this month. The Best Buy memo also mentioned a pre-order program that will run from June 26 through July 11, offering Windows 7 Home Premium upgrades for $49 and Windows 7 Professional upgrades for $99. It's also a date mentioned on this Microsoft Web site, uncovered by posters at Neowin. Microsoft has confirmed it will have such a program, but has not detailed it as yet. As in the past, the exact offer will vary by PC maker, but in general users get a free or minimal-cost upgrade once the new operating system is released. Windows 7 is slated to hit store shelves on October 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
