But it failed to mention that the free upgrade is limited to 25 units per company, says <A href="http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/167528/windows_7_upgrade_why_pay_twice_for_the_same_os.html">PC World</A>. <P>This is what Microsoft said last week on the <A href="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/default.aspx">Windows 7 Team Blog</A>:</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-says-pc-buyers-will-get-free-windows-7-upgrade-but-limited-to-25-units-2009-6"><P>And we have the answer for people who need a new PC now but still want to get Windows 7 and that’s the <STRONG>Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program</STRONG>, which kicks off tomorrow, June 26th! Anyone who buys a PC <EM>from a participating OEM or retailer</EM> with Windows Vista Home Premium, Business or Ultimate on it will all receive an upgrade to the corresponding version of Windows 7 <STRONG>at little or no cost to customers</STRONG>.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-says-pc-buyers-will-get-free-windows-7-upgrade-but-limited-to-25-units-2009-6">This means that businesses who buy more than 25 PCs between now and Oct. 22 will have to pay between $199.99-$219.99 per PC if they want to upgrade to the Windows 7 OS. Or, as PCWorld says, the companies will have to purchase a Software Assurance agreement at $100-$15</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EAE152D2-C749-4DCE-AC83-04A86C1FBA76/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
