I thought today was the day that they would have Windows 7 on sale for $49?
Well I don't see it yet?

"The leaked Best Buy memos gives the dates for the free upgrade program,
which is a Microsoft tradition in which people who buy new machines with
current Windows versions around the release date of the next version will
get a free upgrade to this new version. According to the leaked Best Buy
memo, the program starts June 26, and will end October 22 when Windows 7
gets released. What this means is that buyers of new computers with Vista
Home Premium, Business or Ultimate pre installed within this timeframe will
get a free upgrade for Windows 7. This also goes for boxed retail copies of
Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, and Ultimate. Windows Vista Home Basic
isn't part of the deal, but I'm not even sure if they still sell that
crippled operating system.

The memo also reveals the pre-order prices of Windows 7 starting June 26,
but these deals may very well be Best Buy-specific. Windows 7 Home Premium
upgrade will cost 49.99 USD, while Windows 7 Professional upgrade will go
for 99.99 USD. These deals end July 11. The big question here is of course
whether or not these deals will be Best Buy-specific, or if they are
world-wide. Pricing information for Windows 7 will be made available later
this month. Also note that Windows 7 Home Premium and Professional will be
the only available versions in the Western world"

So when sales look slow, and lots of Vista left in inventory, say the end of
September we can get discounted "old Vista" machines. Good deal.

Coming from a guy who can't even do a proper nym-shift, that means so
much.
