And as an FYI: NeoWin is reporting that the Windows7UpgradeOption site is supposed to go live on Friday the 26th. Take the rumor however you value rumors.

OT: (But the Morro topic is closed now)

Liveside.net is reporting that the US slots in the Microsoft Security Essentials beta are now closed. They didn't know about Brazil, Israel or People's Republic of China.

I'm still waiting for their 7.Ultimate upgrade pricing. I'm quite sick at myself for paying $750 AUD for V.Ultimate. (ugh) Whatever it is priced, I'm not likely to pay anyway. My Vista only gets used (rarely) in a virtualized environment.

But, if it turns out evil, it'll be a nice justification for skipping out on Microsoft. :)

Not everyone wants to buy into the Apple "lifestyle" or pay that much for a computer, or wants OS X. I have my reasons for using a plastic laptop.

I'm not asking to ban him though. Having debate topics makes this more interesting.

Since the upgrade pricing hasn't been released*, it's really premature to say that there is a pending overcharge. My current plan is to pick one of the better upgrade offers for the Dell (quite likely it will come from Dell) desktop, and keep the RC on my aging Sony laptop until February, then decide on a replacement laptop (NOT Netbook) or no replacement, depending on need. Or a hefty enough Mac laptop that running bootcamp makes sense (I have an aging Mac laptop, too). Sony is about as old as GA of Vista; Mac is a couple of years older.

*Other than the leaked BestBuy memo, which showed a $49 (for Home Premium) or $99 (for Business) preorder price starting soon and running for a short time. I suspect BestBuy isn't alone--just sloppier than others. That BestBuy memo suggests it's about time to start paying attention, keeping in mind that without price guarantees, first offer may not be best offer.

@RaggieSoft: Those previous OS releases were not a smaller update, like Snow Leopard is. Which Windows 6.1 (7) is. So yes, Microsoft are ripping Microsofties off. At least Apple has the decency to only charge $29.

@darkmax: You get what you pay for. Want to buy cheap, crappy hardware, go ahead.

Since the beta is ending.... when are we getting a pricing model from M$?

@robertsjoe - you again. Sigh.... Apple don't rip people off in the software department because they already rip you to shreds in the hardware. Ever consider that?

@robertsjoe - I believe that it was you, who over the last year bragged about Snow Leopard being such a great upgrade...now, since Apple has admitted to you and the rest of the world that they cannot deliver anything more than a very minor update to Leopard, you agree. That is what everyone means when they call you and the rest of the blind brand loyalists Apple lemmings. Of course, there are those that are blindly loyal to Microsoft, too...and they are no better.

I think it may be time to brush off the ban hammer for robertsjoe.
