I wonder how many people buying vista ready PCs will be told that they have to fork out EXTRA for Vista next year. How much is an OS upgrade these days? £100 or so?Just received an advert from Dell offering - 2.8Ghz, 2Mb L2 Cache, 800Mhz FSB - 512Mb Ram - 80 GB harddrive - No monitor For GBP 249 (excluding shipping, VAT) Buy before 31 May Presumably all less than Vista ready machines will be discounted like crazy before October, and then - either all sales from October on will include a Vista upgrade - or users will have to purchase Vista in January A lot depending on whether Microsoft is meeting its sales targets and how popular linux is becoming in the corporate area
