It’s official!  When you buy a new computer between now and October 22 you’ll receive a free upgrade to Windows 7 when it comes out.  However, this only applies to new computers with Vista Home premium, Ultimate and pro/business version.  This also means that Vista Home Basic version does not come with the certificate for the free upgrade.

So what about the rest of us that already have a Vista or XP computer?  You too are in luck in that you can get a discounted upgrade to Win7 Home premium or pro/business version.  If you act quickly you can preorder the upgrade for $50 for the Home Premium or $100 for Business.  However, this is only for another few weeks (until July 11th) and online only.  XP users will also have to do a fresh full install and not just and upgrade installation like vista users.
