I was just getting ready to pull the trigger on a new quad core dell the other day, then I got to thinking…

Usually with a new OS release, MS will give a card for a free upgrade to the new OS if you buy the old one after a certain date.

Anybody know when that date is going to be?

I might have to hold on to my p4 3.0 machine for another year…

I don’t want to be stuck with vista then have to pay for a win7 upgrade…

Rumor has it that July is when that program will start. It all depends on how quickly 7 gets to RTM.
