Re: Microsoft says Vista buyers to get free Windows 7
Ok so I have a question. Say I'm running the Win7 RC right now. Could I just use the upgrade copy and just "upgrade" my Win7 RC so that I don't have to start from scratch? I just hate to get my system configured where I want it and then have to start over again.
And Matt the pre-order is actually Home Premium for $49 and Professional for $99. No mention of an Ultimate pre-order price.

Most of the time I hate doing it though. |

CNET doesn't mention Ultimate, but the AP article Rob linked does. It looks like CNET is getting their info from a Best Buy memo. If Ultimate is selling for the same upgrade price and only $20 more for a full copy, my guess is Microsoft will sell it at the same price point for a limited time, or not offer it at all hoping to entice a few anytime upgrades.
They want to spur adoption though, so I'm betting the AP got it right. After all, why would they add the word Ultimate unless they had a different source than CNET?
(EDIT)
It looks like the AP article sourced Microsoft directly rather than Best Buy. |

Microsoft themselves said you should not be upgrading software that is not final release.
