Should You Hold-off New PC Purchase?
Technology, posted: 9-OCT-2006 06:54
Seeing that from now till Jan 2007, this is the period of transition from Windows XP to Windows Vista. And it seems like from Neowin.net that Microsoft is to offer free/discounted Vista for any new PC sold after 28th October 2006 (no indication of which region though), valid through March 15, 2007.
Details for prices include:
If NZ is part of the participating countries, then I'd probably hold-off my UMPC purchase, until November and wait in hope for an upgrade offer. *fingers crossed*
