- Yes! It's true. But I think it's not yet started.
- I found some info in:
http://www.informationweek.com/windows/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=193104532
"Microsoft later this month plans to roll out an Express Upgrade program that gives buyers of Windows XP-based PCs a coupon for a free or discounted upgrade to Windows Vista through March 15."
"Not all of the coupons will be for free upgrades. Customers who buy systems running Windows XP Home Edition can upgrade to Vista Home Basic Edition for a flat $49 fee and to the higher-end Windows Vista Home Premium Edition for a cost of $79."
"The Windows Vista Technology Upgrade Program runs from Oct. 26, 2006, through March 15, 2007. Distributors are expected to have the new SKUs in house for system builders by Oct. 15." - thx for update!
- Does this coupon apply to purchasing just the OS? If so, does this apply to a purchase of an OEM OS as well?
I think it should include the OEM Windows.
MS offer this benefit is due to too much PC vendors want to sell their PC ASAP. Rathen then let the customers wait Vista release in next year and buy their computers at that time.
So is this a fact?
Does microsoft say this is true?
- MS not yet offical announce it.
Ok, any updates on this yet? The article talks about October 26, today is the 27th and I'm holding off buying new IBM Intellistations for the office.
Thanks!
