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"

You're a moron.

And how did you come by this entirely incorrect information?

So's CO2....doesn't mean that it's the best gas for the job of keeping
someone alive. ;-)

BTW...I run both windows and linux here and am not a zealot concerning
either one. :-)

The manager of BestBuy came down in a spaceship with thousands of fliers.
He entered earth's atmosphere last week and started spreading rumors of
Windows 7 for $49.00.

I know people who intercepted his transmissions by placing spy equipment
next to his antenna. Pretty slick.

ROTFLMAO!!!
That has got to be one of the best analogies I have ever read on the Linux
vs. Win / Mac arguments.
I have tried it when Vista was first out. It worked but I just am not
sharp enough to use it well. Tried setting up a dual boot on my XP desktop,
but it was not as easy as so many told me, I could not get it to work. I did
discover I liked Firefox while playing with it and still use it, and use
Open Office at work on computers that did not have a word processor. It took
a little playing with to get used to, but even I could use it so it has to
be pretty easy.

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.

Is that what your Boss at BestBuy told you?

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