If you’ve been thinking about purchasing a new computer this year, you may want to hold off until at least June 26 or late October, depending on your needs. According to this source, after June 26 if you purchase a new PC with Windows Vista, you will be eligible to receive a free Windows 7 upgrade DVD after it’s released later this year.
Windows 7 is Microsoft’s newest operating system which will be available October 22, pre-loaded on most new computers. I’ve been testing Windows 7 Beta and Release Candidate since the beginning of this year, and I’ve been very impressed with the improved speed, design and functionality of the new operating system. If you’re familiar with Windows Vista which was released in early 2007, Windows 7 looks and operates similar to Windows Vista but with many improvements.
There’s too much to tell here about Windows 7, so below are some links to find out more information directly from Microsoft’s websites:
