So there’s this leaked Best Buy memo that shows the store that I’ll never visit again selling Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrades for $49.99 and Windows 7 Professional Upgrades for $99.99. Does that mean that Microsoft will sell said Windows 7 upgrades for said prices across the boards? Eh, not really. I seem to recall Best Buy selling Vista upgrades for one price, then, when Vista actually comes out, it was going for a different price.
Still, I suppose if you’re in the market for Windows 7, and you should be if you’re a Windows guy, then I guess this is promising news.
Specific to Best Buy, their deal is that if you buy a qualifying PC on or after June 26, they’ll throw in a few copy of Windows 7 when it rolls around.
But what does this have to do with the Palm Pre?
I like the part in there: “…but they will not be able to compete with our Geek Squad squad services in addition to the presell options.”
Gosh, Best Buy are a confident bunch, aren’t they?
