Windows 7
I've been thinking of buying a new computer before Christmas and I'd like to do it with 7 instead of Vista. So what's the date for release?

1. Oct 22 last I heard
I'm running it now(working in IT rocks!) and it's FAR superior to Vista or XP, believe it or not.

2. You can buy one now.
You can get a free upgrade that will be sent to you when it's released.

You need to check the procedures - they are based on manufacturer. For example, HP only offers the free upgrade on certain models - the list of which you can find on their website.

I did this w/ Vista when I bought a laptop a few years ago. Came w/ XP on it but I got a free Vista disc in the mail when it was released.

3. One more thing -
You don't have to BUY from the manufacturer for this to work. I'm in the process of looking for a workstation for myself @ work. I found a good deal on one at Tiger Direct - offer still applies according to manufacturers specifications.
