Seems to me I remember back when W7 beta came out there would be fre
upgrades from Vista on new PCs but you had to wait until July. Well
it's July. :

If you get a machine with more than 4 GB ram running Vista64 SP1
wouldn't worry too much about it. It feels like W7 without th
superbar. Runs smooth on my machine

Yes, and this is the same that was done for Vista and XP.

Let's hope NOT. Recall the fuss when the 'vista ready' computers weren't?

If you read it on the official Microsoft web site then I would assume it to
be true.

There's the Key, "IF you read it." LOL! How hard is it to go to MS's
site and investigate it for one's self?? I am constantly amazed at the
laziness of people to find their own answers, (Easily I might add),
BEFORE posting a question. Anyway, YES, free upgrades will be offered
when buying a NEW, get it, NEW, not one bought two years ago, computer
with VISTA installed from various computer vendors. ..Just as it was
with XP and Vista. My God people, are you that helpless, you can't
research it for your selves? ..Sorry.. I just have NO patience for
ignorance lately...

G'day

Well then, you should be rather dissatisfied with yourself. Or did you not
note that the link provided by the OP says "microsoft.com" as the root
domain? ;-) As I was pointing out to the OP, as he has seen it on the MS
web site he may assume it's true.

Um, sorry Richard. What I said was actually meant for the OP.
...All-be-it a bit A_holish. Bad day I guess. It cracks me up even more
that after going to MS's own site and reading it, the question is STILL
asked here. Amazing.

G'day
