Apple isn't the only one coming up with some seriously aggressive pricing schemes; a leaked memo from Best Buy indicates that Microsoft is willing to price Windows 7 upgrades pretty low too, but not as low as Snow Leopard, though. Still, the memo includes some interesting facts and also reveals the dates for when the upgrade program runs. As usual with Microsoft, caveats and version complications. Also, a table comparing the various upgrade prices of both Windows 7 and Snow Leopard can be found inside.

Windows 7 will work? What about when you hook up your internet? Will it keep working? Or will you have to bog it down to about 66% as fast by buying a yearly subscription Internet Security suite to keep safe in the shark infested waters?
Glad I'm using Linux... Installed in 1 hr with all my software there, and all my hardware working right out of the gate. Just a couple clicks away and I can play DVD's and everything I need to do...and free to boot! You can keep your Windows upgrade ransom...
I'd actually pay for the Mac upgrade, and considering the use of expensive IPS LCD screens and quality hardware, the iMac actually checks out as a good deal to boot. The cost comparisons never factor in that those inexpensive PC's get garbage TN LCD screens, junk keyboards and such.
