Microsoft to offer Windows 7 upgrade deals

Microsoft announced Tuesday that Windows 7 will start selling on October 22. They also announced that they will offer a special deal to consumers who buy a computer with Vista before the launch of the new OS.

"This program enables participating retailers and OEMs to offer a special deal to upgrade to Windows 7 for customers purchasing a qualifying PC," said Microsoft spokesman Brandon LeBlanc in a post made on the Windows 7 blog.

Details about the cost and eligibility requirements are still unknown and Microsoft has yet to say anything else.
