Upgrade to Windows 7 for $49.99

Jun 9, 2009 by

windows_7 Engadget obtained a leaked Best Buy memo detailing that Vista was a failure and that Windows 7 is the “next best thing”, the memo also includes details on pricing for a pre-sale on bestbuy.com starting June 26th. You will be able to pick up Windows 7 Home Premium for $49.99 and Windows 7 Professional for $99.99, currently no word on pricing for Windows 7 Ultimate.

With the advent of the Apple announcement yesterday and the $29.99 upgrade to snow leopard, the $49.99 price point to upgrade to Windows 7 is warm welcome to all the Apple Zealots out there.  My only gripe is that it would have been better if the $49.99 price point was for Windows 7 Ultimate instead.
