Details are emerging about the nominal cost upgrades to Windows Vista. If you buy a PC between 26/10/2006 and 13/03/2007

This is so you don’t put off buying because you know there is a new version of Windows in the wings.

These will be dependent on the retailer offering the scheme. I imagine it will only be a few days until Dell announce it.

It looks like this*

If you purchase a PC running Windows XP this holiday, you should remember to take into account the upgrade path of the SKU you purchase. In the US, the upgrade path looks like this (but will vary by region):

Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 –> Windows Vista Home Premium (nominal fee)

Windows XP Professional –> Windows Vista Business (nominal fee)

Windows XP Tablet PC Edition –> Windows Vista Business (nominal fee)

Windows XP Professional x64 Edition –> Windows Vista Business 64 (nominal fee)
