I may sound like a conspiracy theorist (and I am), but it could be said
that MS may have pulled off a great marketing scheme (rip-off) with
VISTA?

 

Let's face it, most folks (like me) never upgrade their OS until they
buy a new PC, but now, it's very likely that folks (including me) will
buy W7 just because VISTA gives me/us grief, and thus, MS will sell a
lot of upgrades through the more profitable retail channels rather than
through PC maker's hardware sales.

 

My son's laptop came with a free (so they say) upgrade to W7, but my
laptop and my desktop PC are older, and I have to pay for the upgrade.

 

Just a thought...
