Windows 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.

yeah...lol...in the context of the existence of the human race it isn't unfortunate, but in the context of the condom machine story it is.

People aren't going to say associate windows versions with social standing.

Besides real men don't use Ultimate Micro Soft size.

Call me crazy, but I can't think of *any* context where I'd put Windows (or any OS) ahead of "'ol one-eye" ;)

made a complete hash of it, but basically I was just saying that the anecdote about condom machines does not apply to versions of windows.

i.e. nobody (except fools) are going to feel inadequate when seen buying less than largest (Ultimate).

sigh..I must have left my brain back in 2008
