Tech ARP has a collection of dates regarding Microsoft's update program. The upgrade program concerns upgrade paths from Windows Vista to Windows 7, and basically entails that when you buy a Windows Vista machine after July 1 2009, you will get a free upgrade to Windows 7 once it's released. The data also confirm a number of versions for Windows 7.

and so the manager says: Jenkins, you're genius! I love that one.
So I guess I'm gonna wait till Windows 8. No, seriously, I'm runing XP. I have a particular set of applications I'm using on a regular basis. Vista does not offer anything substantially new. Tollbar? WTF? Do I have to move to completely new environment because of different (and not necessarily better) toolbar? And Windows 7 is essentially a patched Vista (with yet another version of toolbar, so praise the Lord!). So me stays with XP for another few years.
