Microsoft to Offer Upgrade Coupons

[vasulic]

Personal computer buyers can now upgrade to the Vista operating system (OS), as Microsoft Corp has reportedly announced the Vista upgrading coupon program wherein customers buying PCs will get a Vista upgrade coupon for free or at a discounted rate.

Under the program, customers buying PCs between October 26 and March 15, 2007, with pre-installed Windows XP OS, will be able to upgrade to Vista OS, once it's made available to the public. Vista is scheduled to debut early next year.

Similarly, the company has also come up with an upgrade plan for the recently previewed Microsoft Office 2007. Consumers buying PCs will now be able to upgrade to Office 2007, which is also due early next year.
