Best Buy: Open mouth, insert foot - “Vista doesn’t work”

Looks like a Best Buy memo got leaked, and in it we can see both their real opinion of Microsoft Vista, as well as their pricing plans for upcoming Windows 7.

Gotta love the second line, where it says that Windows 7 “isn’t just a Vista that works” (tell us how you really feel), but a totally improved operating system with better productivity.  They also gave detail to the fact that they will be giving out a free upgrade copy of Windows 7 when it comes out October 22nd to anyone purchasing a Vista-laden computer after June 26th.  It will count whether you have Vista Home Premium, Business or Ultimate.  You even qualify if you bought individual disks.

In addition, between June 26 to July 11, you will be able to pre-order select editions of Windows 7 on Best Buy.com.  The Home Premium Upgrade will be going for $49.99, and the Professional for $99.99.  Bit of a savings from the cost of a Vista Upgrade at $129.95 and $199.95

So, if you were planning a buying a computer…ya might want to hold off a couple of weeks.  You know…to get an OS that actually works.  I don’t know that Best Buy is going to be thrilled that this one got out, since it may bring down computer sales the next few weeks.

Never the less…kudos to Best Buy for calling a spade a spade.

    Any way Windows 7 is just like Windows Vista there is no much more different in both OS but all we are fool to know about these…

    But no problem Windows 7 is better than Vista and also performing better than Vista..

    Windows 7 is also compatible to all Vista SP 1 System and also on XP SP3….


    try the best…
